    Brand new predator won't run

    Sure I’ll have to do it later though as I’m having trouble uploading from my phone. Correct I’m using a universal fit motorcycle gas tank, about 2.4L volume I think. Nope it doesn’t have a vent, only two openings are the cap itself and the port from the petcock. Also my engine is tilted forward...

    Brand new predator won't run

    Yep exactly, that's what I was thinking as well but wasn't sure if it was carb related or the gearing was too wonky. Well it's the oem carb that the engine came with, just with aftermarket jets.

    Brand new predator won't run

    Hey all, I've got a brand new predator 212cc engine that I put into a bike frame that won't run. The modifications I've made include upgraded jets, a pod filter, and exhaust header. I made these mods before I first started the engine. If I spray starting fluid right down the intake the engine...
