Coleman CT200U with Torque Converter on Methanol!

[rickou812]

Just wanted to share my project and what was involved in modding the Coleman CT200U.
Current Specs:
30 series TC
Original gear ratio 10:1
Modified Predator 212 on methanol.
Original 19" tires.

Wheelies upon blip of the throttle and has a top speed of 48mph slipping the belt.

Motor Mods:
Governor delete
ARC +0.020 Billet Rod
ARC Billet fly wheel at 32 deg.
ported Hemi head
SS valves
26lb springs
F275 cam
ARC 675 bored carb. 27/58 jets
3 step header and open element filter
AR3910X spark plug.

To fit the TC, the engine had to be raised 1.25" and the chain guard front mount cross bar removed. Other than that, a bolt on install.
To prevent gas cap to frame issues, the original coleman tank was used on the predator which places the gas cap the the side.

Crappy cell phone video of the TC working:

They're selling those at our harbor freight.
Too bad there's not a lick of suspension on them.

The big tires help......some.

Methanol is awesome. I love the extra power it makes.

I'm sure nothing compares to the nitro you like to play with

That's the good stuff. It really puts the woopow in one, sometimes it puts the woopow on the outside, lol.

It's either stock compression or your hand Is made of steel. Or it's broken the rope quite a few times already.

It has a +.020 rod, but otherwise stock compression. I also always make sure I start on the compression stroke. I also learned to keep the ignition switch off while bringing it up on the compression stroke.

I am currently building another engine right now that will be 13:1,308 cam with a tilliston on alcohol.

Should be fun
