What a great uncle you are. You are sharing your knowledge and building confidence in your nephew. I can see a lot of youths, like your nephew, watching your video and being encourage to try this themselves; "It is easy, and you can do it." is all they need to hear. You are very direct and clear in your explanations, which is critical; and you never talk down to your audience, even when talking about the most simple of mechanical concepts. A commendable job.
@@KartFab I installed my performance kit on my mini bike and my go kart, and both of them sound like there is a leak of compression from somewhere like a hissing sound, any advice as to what it is?
It's crazy how there is an air filter, but it needs spray to filter dirt. Ironic but makes sense because the spray is sticky and will sure catch those little particles. By the way awesome video I just traded my 250 dirt bike for a Murray full suspension dune buggy type go kart and it already had the stage 1 upgrades! I think it has a different piston too. Have a good one😁
I am 54 now, when i was 44 I got the urge to go kart race, did so for 4 years, A 6.5 predator engine can put out 15 -19 hp and turn 7500 rpm alot easier than you think, If you break in the engine and do it right, those engines will last a long time and be very reliable
Cliff P if your sure the tap and bolt are correct you could use it, I would prefer (if possible) to just clean it by running a bolt in and out with some penetrating lube to avoid the chance of crosscuting the treads with an aggressive tap As for mods you can buy a stage one kit or make your own what you need to do is remove the governer gear and arm make 1" diameter exhaust about 350mm long expanding to 1.25-1.5" 100mm-150mm long at the tip, drill the carb main jet to 0.8mm and add a high flow air filter and adapter (these are reasonably priced) this will give you a decent power increase I would also add additional crankcase ventilation and filtration system

Hey excellent video! gotta tell ya if I am having a "tough" day or just need something to do for a few minutes I jump on my Doodlebug Hemi and blast around the neighborhood a few times, mind you I have a 69 Camaro 4 speed, an 86 C-10 shortbed & a 48 Harley Davidson 1200 sitting in the garage! so yeah doing this mod on something I'm already having fun with is a no-brainer!

@@deucedeuce4223 put a ziptie through the spring on the governor rod that goes to the carb lever. It won't let the spring stretch open and it'll rev higher! Did it last wknd n it rips now and I didn't even get my stage 1 kit put on yet
Love the videos! Question? What size jet or what size difference jet did you install to create proper air to fuel ratio ? We have a predator 301cc... custom exhaust and the k&n style air filter. Any help would be appreciated
I’m trying to get the same answer, I have looked at all of the stage 1 kits from gopowersports.com and ombwarehouse.com. I have come to the conclusion that the jet size in the stage 1 is a .038 jet, I believe the stock jet is a .028. I have a handful of stock jets laying around so I’m going to hand drill my jet to .035 and see how it runs, if I need to drill it more I’ll probably go up one MM at a time all the way to .038 until I find the sweet spot! Hope this helps dude, good luck!

Great info. I've got a 79 cc I want to help the performance on. What stage is it that you pull the governor? OMG that kid needs to be wearing pads, helmet, gear, mouth guard etc...Ready for stage II
Great video, your nephew did a great job! I like that you included him to show kids they can do it themselves. Good job, great video and that little thing rips!!

@@AndreLuiz-ip3fh predator 212 stage one on pump gas needs a .033-.038" orifice jet. Most go with .037" a the best all around jet size for this engine with stage 1 pump gas.
okay i did a review of your video's im sorry i missed the jet change was drinking a little and spaced that part but still may want to look into a jet kit for that thing still sounds like it need a little bigger one just saying!
Hi, love what you do and full respect! I have been building high-performance motorcycles since the 80s. I happened upon a free Subaru 170- 6 hp setting for trash pickup on a stump grinder..Wow, you have got to do a build on one of these! Overhead cam, giant intake and exhaust ports, high-lift cam and a big-bore short-stroke with a hefty con-rod! It is built like a Honda XR engine! If you want, I can share some pics! I plan to get 15+ HP out of this reliably! Also, Super-lightweight.
Just got a good go kart frame for 60 bux and got a 212 predator from harbor freight. Waiting for mechanic to assemble everything then I will be upgrading engine in short order. Thanks.

I like how he goes into details about the builds. I'm going to build one soon..

What is that bike frame
Where do I buy parts
p.s. The non Hemi has more compression
This must have taken forever to film. I noticed your nephew changed his shirt 10 times before step 4. Lmao
Please do a video on stage 2 and stage 3 mods. I really need one.
Ive already filmed one build that is stage 4, doing a separate stage 4 build. Those will definitely be coming!!
Thank you very much sir. I appreciate your work.

was thinking the same thing, or find out and open up the existing jet.
poor neighborhood! hahaha

what header option was used?
The weld on header
Fun to watch lol😂😂😂.
I recently bought a 420cc predator and the legends were true, I recommend putting in the $339.99 to get a beast burn out machine!
Did you do any mods to it? And if so what and from where?
You should get a small impact... It'll be a lot faster taking it apart...
Color: a Grey and Red Camo wrap
You could buy it for cheap on eBay and it would be a cool project video :) just a suggestion...
camo wrap looks good, ill run it by my newphew. Im thinking all the plastic parts on it would look good like that.
Ahaaaaaaaaa theres a ad in the middle of the video.... 😑
My friend rode my stock 212 and nearly crashed and I just bought a stage one so I hope nothing happens 👀
The gasket in step 5 the thick gasket do I have to have that and since I lost mine where can I get one and what is the name of it. Plez help me
Just need wrenches and a screwdriver....starts using socket wrench lol

Just because you're a kid doesn't automatically mean you can't do it/whatever..Never stopped me & I had no one.Trev New Zealand
It sounds and moves like it should be black with lots of red accents. What a great sound that mod makes.
Can the mods get wet? I have my predator on my go kart, but only have a semi waterproof cover for it
Never in my life have i seen air filter oil.
Oh dang. You must be using those paper air filters. The washable ones use oil.
I recognized that K&N red filter oil
Unless it's a paper filter, it is the oil that captures the dirt, not the filter. Read the directions.
wow .I have wd 40
I had a friend ride my bike and he underestimated how fast it was and almost immediately fell off
Counterclockwise!?!? That little feller's clock is digital!
Where'd you get that retaining bracket for the choke lever
How much hp did you get out of this motor after this upgrade?
Ok you gonna let Cletus tear it up before the kid even rides it!!
Could I put this on a 140cc lawnmower and get more performance?
How much more hp do you get from this
Can i use these mods on a the non-hemi version of the engine?
Yes
hello don't you have a video on a step by step moter mount for a go cart?
I did this same kit and my engine was running very rich. Please help.
How much HP?
Great video, clear and informative, thank you so much I’m looking forward to installing these parts
