govenor

Hello all, I am new here. I acquired 2 Coleman mini bikes that the throttle hangs wide open on. I don’t have much info on them, all the guy said was that the throttles hand up. Got ‘em home and fired them up, sure enough they both hang up. Took the tanks off and started investigating, He had...

baja warrior, predator 212 hemi, tav2 clone. bike is a trail bike so i won't be making speed runs. i've already hit 40mph and that's fine. planning on leaving the govenor in tact. i want to have an open exhaust and a high flow air filter. i know i will at least need to jet my carb, but should...

Just like the title says, I need the Tec part number for the linkage rod that goes from the governor to the carb on a HS 40 engine. I think it might be 32698 , can anyone confirm that # for me ?

Ok, lots read and learned on how to remove the govenor, but nothing on what it's doing there in the first place, and why we don't want it . Any explanations ? I just bought the HF 212cc Thanks guys

Hi I am a brand new member but have been reading and getting lots of extremely useful information from this site for a few months now. I have just finished, well almost finished, building and painting my first mini bike which was a $60 impulse buy at a yard sale which turned into a slightly...

My first mini bike build, a $60 yard sale impulse purchase turned slightly obsessive project. Ending in a photo shoot at the Hippie Killer Car Show in Southern California. All a bit strange for an English bloke.

About 10 horses now I think, need to fabricate a clutch and chain guard

Almost done, needs hydraulic brakes as I don't always have a football pitch of braking distance available to me, and I forgot to but new grips so I re-installed the beaten up and broken old ones for now.

Candy flake paint with fine line tape to be removed and gold flake to be faded in for detail.

Build finished for now, time to relax with a patriotic beer and International Rugby, if you can call shouting at the television relaxing.

I wanted a 70's retro bling sort of look. Base coat black, taped off for gold flake, and then faded in candy apple red flake. Then sanded back lightly to give a vintage look, and first of many coats of clear. This is my first mini bike build and my first paint job. It was a lot of work but fun.

Sanded and de-greased almost ready for primer ... luckily I have a friend who has a paint booth I could use after hours so late nights hear I come!

More parts than I had imagined, and lots of red powder coat dust later...

Faded original powder coating, not pretty but rust free so it did its job! I wanted more 70's glitz though so time to tear it all down and get out the 3M scuff pads and sand paper

Original motor I think, took it out and built a 212cc Harbor Freight Predator with modifications.

Original brake, changed the pads ... still not really effective it slows it down but now it has about 10 horses it needs more, that is next on the to do list.

$60 and it ran once I cleaned the carbs, put in fresh gas, and changed the oil! Rode it once and then I tore it apart for more CCs and noise.

Stock before I started the tear down for the motor swap and build, and custom retro paint job

Pre paint original powder coat and rusty screws
