problem

Ok, so I was having some issues with my predator, and I decided to take apart the carb and clean it all up.well I tried just about every screwdriver I had to remove the jet, it was in super tight, the slotted head got screwed up, and I had to use an easy out to remove it, got it out...

I have a mechanical brake set up seems like it locked or froze up and is stuck rubbing on wheel I was wondering if it were salvagable or get new mechanical or just switch to hydraulic I have a 6.5 hp predator idk if the mechanical will have enough stopping power now I f I do switch to a...

Is any one else having problems loading pictures. I for reason can't load any of my pictures to any forums. I can't even add a smiley face to them. So if someone knows how to fix this problem please let me know. Thanks Joe

Just swaped out my old 3horse Tecumseh for a 6horse predator. Chain keeps coming off when under stress of acceleration and also when just cruising. Tried pulling all slack out but is still happening. Broke 2 master links, I finally just welded chain and made master link unnecessary. Chain still...

Got a friend who put this engine on a rototiller and runs fine until the tills sink in the ground and engine starves for fuel cause its tilted. Anything he could do to that bowl style carb so it will run when at and angle while tilling?

So I recently bought a predator 212 to replace my 50cc on my minibike. The problem is that the drive shaft has switched from right side to left and the rear wheel has a two way sprocket that will not engage unless the shaft goes the opposite way it's suppose to. Is there anyway to flip the...

I have a problem and I was hoping it wouldn't happen but it did. Today I'm working outside and asked the wife if she would go get MY new HF welding table because I needed it, she disappears and comes back in a few minutes empty handed so I ask "where is the table" in which she replies "I need...

I ordered a welding table (Item #61369) and updated my inside track membership on Monday of this week and still nothing:out:. The tables are back ordered (fine-it happens-the tables are awesome) but they charged me $6.99 for shipping and processed payment on my inside track card renewal over...

Hey guys, This drive has part of the old cable broken off in it. Question is does the hole pass all the way throught it? I havent tried taking a pick to it yet, just wanted to check in for any advice. thanks.

Just picked up a 16 horse v-twin model 303447 Horizontal engine . It would make about a 1/4 turn then lock. you could put a screw driver on flywheel with some pressure and it would free up then lock again. I pulled the side cover off figuring the rod was bad. its not. Is there a crankshaft...

Hi guys, thanks for any input! I have a Baja Warrior with a 6.5hp Honda clone engine. I took the side crank case cover off the crank side to take a peak inside. I don't have the recoil starter so just turning by hand using the starter pulley is pretty easy. My question is do you have to...

I have a baja warrior minibike that only has about 2 hours runtime on it. Yesterday while riding it, as I went to idle, the engine died. Now, the engine will start when I have the choke open but when I close it the engine quits. Sometimes I can accelerate with the choke open and then close it...

My motor has the following parts on it and only revs to ~4000rpm GX160 Arc rod +.020 Flattop piston stock bore File fit rings CM pushrods 1.3 billet rockers 26lb springs(have duals but can't find someone to cut down the seat) 307 lift cam from nrracing (307lift, ICL 08, LS 07) .045...

I just had my motor dynoed with a 22mm mikuni and it gets up to about 4000rpm then stops. The guy says it is too rich with a 130 main and 12.5 pilot so we went down to 98 main and it does the same thing. Carb bad?? Cleaning?? I don't know what is wrong but I need to get this thing working so...

hello all, So I was riding around and the throttle got stuck. I couldn't fix it on the spot as my hands were cold and all, so I just rode home with the choke on. It think it is a governor issue, watch the video. I'm a little confused with the linkage as I don't know if a springs loose or missing...

I just put my 212 hemi pred on the doodblebug. I haven't fired it up yet because I can't get the throttle to react correctly. I swapped carbs with an older 196 clone (blue clone) that I pulled off of another motor that I built for my kart. I thought it would be easier to swap carbs because it...

1986 3HP briggs model 82322. Dumped a little gas in the carb and turned it over with an electric drill and socket on the overriding clutch. When the thing fired everything spinning would stop right now. Once I got it to run but it would not do it again. Just the stop thing. Pulled the...

Im copying and pasting this from another site . trying to help the guy but i dont know these engines too well. what do you guys think? So, Honda ES5000 generator. Its old, 10-15 years old. Has run fine for years. Last night, our second power outage of the year, it started to spit...

So I picked up this bug the other day, Guy said he bought it new the kids moved on to bigger things and it laid in the shed for a few years. I figured clean the carb get it going flip it and turn my 100 dollars into 2 maybe 2 and a half the thing was clean looked like low hours on it. Long...

While preparing my "forty" Fox Campus wheel rims for painting I ran into a problem in that they did not want to hang vertical. See Pic #1. After testing and scrapping twenty or more methods I came up with a bracket that neatly solved the problem. Pic #2 shows a hanger that I fabricated out of...
