Looks like an engine kit for a bicycle.

Nice. That's a good price for that riser. When they first came out you couldn't get one for under $40. It's not important but your engine is not a 212 clone. When Harbor Freight was selling Greyhound 196's there was no such thing as a 212. What is important is that you should not remove the...

I ended up putting the stock jet back in. If I quick snapped to full throttle it would break up a bit then recover. It did restart warm without choke with the stock jet. I like the 224 muffler. It's not loud but does have a more aggressive sound than the stock 196 muffler. I had to use it...

I just tested what we are talking about here. I had to down tune my bike for new riders for a family outing. I removed the 224 and put in a stock 196. It has the stock air box, 31 main jet, and the 224 muffler. I did a short warm up in the yard then did a full throttle run down the street and...

"cure the hot start issue."? I wouldn't call it an issue. Starting on choke was a habit for me. It was somewhat rare for me to turn the engine off hot, then start it again hot. I don't think the 196's need more pilot jet. Never did anything with the pilot jet or mixture screw on any of my...

4500 max? Yes. Same with the rod, flywheel, and internal governor parts. Let's be real here... Look at the Ghost 212 which has a 6K to 6100 RPM rev limiting coil. It's rod and flywheel are no better than any other stock rod and flywheel. If 6100 RPM's make you nervous then get a 5200 RPM rev...

Agree. I should have ran mine out of the box. There's a good chance that I wouldn't have built it.

For my 224 build I used the 6270 billet rod, .570 CH flat top, 252 Rattlesnake cam, 22lb springs, PVL flywheel, and Champion rockers. I originally used a stock carb but it now has a VM22. And yes, blower housing, pull start, and starter cup from my Hisun 196. With the Coleman tank it doesn't...

The Predator 224 thing is a mess. Guys are buying them and getting a hemi. I hear they are putting hemi's in non-hemi boxes. Turns out the hemi is a turd that would work only as a utility engine or governed stock engine for minibikes and go karts. Avoid the 224 hemi like the plague. Harbor...

Was interested and looked it up. Sold by RacersProQuip. No duration spec listed but you can tell from the picture it has a lot of duration. And they don't mention recommended springs. Stock lift specs. $59 economy cam. "Stump pulling power" I wouldn't use it without at least 10.5:1...

If it is significantly easier to hand crank when going for zero lash, then you are enough into negative lash to be releasing compression. For zero lash you would back off the adjuster in tiny amounts until you feel compression. And this is another way to go for zero lash without needing to spin...

You mention the B200 series. What do those bikes weigh, 150 plus? My 200U minus the rear rack weighs 115 pounds. My other one with the front suspension kit weighs 121 pounds.

The oil drain extension came on the Hisun 196's used on the first three Coleman models. It's always been out of stock on the Coleman parts site. Crankcase Assy

The 24mm Nibbi is just another carb option. I'm sure a lot of guys use them. There are multiple sellers on Amazon and the kits are around $65 or so. They look like nice carbs with a black color. I don't think 24mm is too big. I'd bet there are guys running 24mm Nibbi's on stock engines with a...

Only time I had something similar was when a new rider was on my "down tuned" Coleman. For some reason he kept going on and off the throttle repeatedly at slower speeds. The driver got so hot that it would not engage. I wanted to service it but didn't bring any dry lube. After letting it cool...
