dies

Hey everyone, got a question, so my predator, stock header, aftermarket air intake with no gov and .36 jet, for some reason it just stalls out when I give it any amount of throttle whether on choke or not. I checked the spark plug and it seems to run healthy, not too rich or too lean, and the...

Hello, I'm new to the forum. I have a Craftsman weed cutter with a 6hp B&S Quantum engine. It was in storage for a long while. Before trying to restart it I drained the old fuel, removed and dismantled the carburetor, cleaned it and replaced some gaskets. Also replaced the throttle spring and...

Hey guys i got a predator 212 a few months ago from harbor freight, put some basic mods on the engine (new air filter, removed the oil sensor, new exhaust - straight piped-) and the bitch won't start anymore… even with carb cleaner it starts for a second then sputters out a few seconds later...

Was working good for the last couple years, but this year went for a ride, and my front brake shoe came unglued and the bike died. I figured it was the load the stuck shoe was putting on the motor. Got new shoes and went for a ride.. everything fine for the first 5 min (after a good 10 min warn...

Hey guys I am having a slight problem with my mini bike. The engine starts in 1-3 pulls with the choke up, but once the engine is warm and I put the choke down it dies. Also the idle screw seems to do nothing whether its screwed all the way in or out and the engine idles around 3600 rpm, clutch...

I have a Predator 212cc engine that dies when I turn the choke off. I got the engine back in the summer and I used it almost every week up until 2 months ago. After 2 months of sitting I tried to start it and it only runs with the choke on.

Alright everyone is been a long long time since I posted on here... My son has the green doodle bug. I upgraded the engine yo the HF blue 6.5 hp... It's been sitting for at least a year with fuel in it... I drained the old fuel and put new fuel in it... Well it starts fine when the choke is on...

Good Morning OldMiniBikes, I am looking for some help. I recently acquired a go kart for next to nothing. It had a 5.5hp Tecumseh power sport on there. It was not quite fast enough and I always wanted to see what the predator hype was about. I pulled the tec and installed the 212. Runs great. Unless...

Hey Guys, I'm at a lost with this motor. Could really use some help. I have a brand new 212, header, air filter kit, and 037 jet, and 140 e tube installed. It starts fine but runs at a high idle and when i give it a little throttle it dies. I've try cleaning the carb, using the 036 jet. nothing...

Somebody was on here at one tie selling dies for the JD2 tubing benders, a buddy of mine is ordering one and wants to order about 4-6 sets of different size dies. Can anybody direct me to who was making and selling the dies?

Hey guys! My gx200 has been stalling like crazy! at the worst times too:censure:. It just sputters and dies and wont start up for another 5 minutes. the process just keeps repeating. I have 1.3 rockers, 18lb springs, .50 duration cam, custom adjustable jet, +6 degrees timing, tav2. I run a...

My stock 212cc Predator dies when choke is fully opened and I can't seem to figure out why, but only at idle. If I open the choke fully and give it throttle, it will keep running, just not at idle. It will idle if choke is less than half way open but I can't give it throttle then. Motor has...

A few days ago I bought a 6.5hp Powerfist (Honda clone) engine off of kijiji for $50 that I have intentions on putting on my doodle bug. Seller said that it came off a rototiller and ran a bit rough. So I figured I would buy it cheap and get it running right. I brought it home and it...

Not sure how many are into Slayer, but guitarist Jeff Hanneman passed away today of liver failure at 49...sucks. RIP Jeff.

As usual I tried searching for this but I was probably too wordy. Anyhow the engine sounded pretty nice on the first fire up. It was extremely loud from the lack of a silencer on the end of the header. Went to run an errand and now when I give it throttle it dies. I didn't remove the governor...

Hi guys i need help. Today my minibike started sputtering badly( thought i was low on gas) so i stopped and looked at the engine and oil was everywhere around the carb. Any ideas ?? Ive been having lots of problems with my engine lately

Just read the headlines this morning and found out one of my favorite actors died. Everyone remembers him as the Evil JR but I will always connect him with the lighter comedy of I dream of Geannie. He was good in fail safe too. Infact he was as good at playing a good guy as a bad guy...

Hello everyone, we have an old 5 horse Tecumseh motor we are trying to get running right for our mini bike. It originally was idling way too fast, and it wouldn't adjust right with the idle and main screws. After pulling the carb and flushing it out with carb cleaner it now idles low enough and...
