    billet rod failure

    Aluminum has a more finite life cycle than steel, if it had hundreds of miles on it maybe it was it's time to go.

    Thinking of building my first kart, worth it?

    It looks nice, but keep in mind if you don't have a bunch of parts it's gonna cost you. Right off it's gonna need an engine, clutch, chain, caliper, and looks like pedals and cables.

    Predator 212 Electric Start

    My opinion is you won't need one, these engines start easier than any pull start I've seen. My 212 started on the first pull in winter with the choke off and my 9 year old has no problems cranking it.

    Predator 212cc Hemi is pushing oil out breather!

    I had a blowby and smoking issue on my 212 hemi, not saying you do but is the oil saturated with gas? My fuel shut off valve seal had a slight tear in it letting gas stream into the carb and eventually the cylinder and crank case. I put a new seal in it from a gx160 carb and changed the oil, all...

    Removing governor?

    I'm not trying to start an internet rumble, I'm just stating my experiences and what I have seen and heard from other forums. And I did mean to say that stiffer valve springs should be installed after governor removal to avoid valve float. A good friend of mine ruined a 6 pack 440 in his...

    Removing governor?

    Tell me how any of that is contradictory, you don't know me or my experience. If you've never seen floating valves drop, stock rods break, or stock flywheels grenade when bypassing or removing the governor, you don't know.

    Removing governor?

    The damage that can be done to your engine and even you is not worth it in my opinion, the stock cast aluminum connecting rod and flywheel are made within the parameters of the governor. When the stock rpm is bypassed, the rod can break and ruin the entire engine, and the flywheel can come apart...
