    newbie needs advise..

    So I bought a air filter kit and exhaust for my 212cc predator, I guess I am just wondering if u absolutely HAVE to re-jet my carb? Also, have any other little tricks to get a little better performance out of this thing? Don't worry I'm not touching the governor! Thanks

    A solution for wheeling of Predator powered DB30

    The Doodle Bug chassis with its short wheel base and high center of gravity which is centered over the rear wheel with a rider on it is the reason for the wheelie popping you experience with a Predator 212cc. For example a Baja Warrior bike handles the increased torque of the Predator 212cc with...

    Are Predator 212cc Db30's not balanced correctly?

    Well I haven't had any problems myself. Everyone else who rides my bike seems to lose control and wipes out. When accelerating hard you need to set forward on the seat or it likes to pop a wheelie on the unsuspecting victim.:shrug:. When I was in my late teens and early 20's I would ride...

    Predator 212cc

    Hello OldMiniBikes, yesterday I installed the predator 212cc engine. Everything works as it should, all that's left is to hook up the throttle cable and kill switch. I was wondering if anyone had a step by step guide or maybe even a video on youtube or somewhere that I could use as a guide.

    Predator 212cc cold start

    How do they start @ 20-25F? My experience with Kohler 6.5 HP is not very good. It takes many retries with electric starter. Pull start can produce only single ignition on each pull. But at 40F it starts on first pull. Is it going to be the same with Predator? If so I guess I'll need electric...

    [2] Predator 212cc Engines

    I bought 4 of these a while ago. The first 2 I ran for less than 5 min.. They both "surged" at idle. No idea why. I put these aside and have not touched them. I'm guessing it's something minor. $79.00 ea. plus exact shipping. PayPal "gift" please or check/money order is fine.

    WANTED: Predator 212cc Fuel Tank

    I am looking for an older generation Predator 212cc fuel tank black with the gas cap on the right. I just purchased the engine new and the gas tank on it has the gas cap in the middle. This puts the gas cap underneath the frame making it impossible to refuel. Anybody got one?
