oil

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...

All, I know this is a minibike forum, but you all know the Honda GX200 clone engines quite well so I thought I would ask for some help. I have a Harbor Freight Greyhound/Lifan engine (The older one) that is currently mounted on my rototiller. I have logged about 100 hours on the engine and...

I just took apart my forks form my 71 speedway shrike the springs are broken so I found nice replacements form FARM AND FLEET my question is are the sels at the top to keep dirt out or oil in? the don't seem to be setup for oil but they call it HYDRO RIDE in the brochure

1st time poster here. I've had this bike for 10 years and finally have it running well. It has a 50cc Sachs engine and a two speed tranny. Any tips? What kind of tranny oil should I use? Anyone try Amsoil synthetic? Thanks for any advice. Picture taken last summer (that's not me, my wife)

Oil is fliing out of my clutch when I ride . I thought maybe it was because it was a new clutch and it would stop after some time .it haze not . Is this normal ? It shurly is annoying . Any suggestions ?

What would it take to run a turbocharger? Has anyone done it on here? All I know is it would be neat, but most likely be a headache. I know that you need oil and someway to get it to the turbo but what else?

Valvoline 4T Synthetic 20W50 $3 a qt ..

Does anyone know what size the oil drain bolt is on the 97cc stock engine?

Picked these up today.Got them dirt cheap from a guy that owns a body shop in town.They've been hanging in his man cave below his shop for years.For the heck of it I asked if he'd sell them.Gave me a great deal,couldn't pass it up Both are 1980 models,one is a C70 4-stroke and the other is a...

Hey Guys , the engine I am using in my latest DMP build is smoking when it throttles up , not so bad at idle but you can smell it I haven't done a compression test but can be reasonably sure it is worn rings Has anybody tried oil additives or thicker oil as a temp fix , I do not ride my...

First, thanks for all the great info. This forum has been my no. 1 source for info for this project, and i had minimal experience in 4-stroke small motos before this. I have built a hemi 212 for use on a mudmotor and have a few questions i can't seem to find answered in searches, and I am open...

Is there a specific type of oil that needs to be used in the 212cc hemi Predator engine? Or will any standard oil work? I have some Briggs and Stratton SAE 30 oil, Pennzoil, etc.

I've been working on this H35 for a little while and got it started today. Woohoo! :freakout: BUT...oil started dripping out of the breather. :ohmy: I had read that it should take 21 ounces but it seemed to overflow a bit before I got all 21 ounces into it. Is it coming out the breather...

How do I change the oil seal on the side of the block where the crank sticks through? the bearing is good so id rather not mess with it, but the seal is bad. got a new one ready to go. the block is all tore down.

FYI for new Predator 212 owners.... After getting the blue mini running I had a oil leak next to the rear fill plug. I could see it leaking between the cover plate and case. Tried to tighten the bolt but it didn't help. What I found was the factory bolts were to long and bottoming out. Put two...

Help! I'm new to forums and I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with my DB 30. I bought a new DB30 over two years ago. Ran it off and on for less than 30 mins total and it just stopped working. No matter what I do, it won't start. I'm in the military and just moved to Germany and tried...

I got this motor in a trade a few months ago. Doubt I'll ever use it. The following is what has been done to the motor..... New hemi predator. Never started. Has been disassembled, clearances checked. Big end of rod opened up to .002+ oil clearance. Governor removed, low oil level sensor...

Anybody out there got a good recipe for a "generic" air filter oil spray or is it best to buy the kind in the can ?

Hi all! I managed to get the OEM motor that came with the MB200 back together; start it and not blow it or myself up! :smile: The inductive pickup tach registered a max RPM around 6000; that was at wide open throttle with the throttle linkage pegged to wot. It didn't seem like it could rev...
