Predator 212 issues

[SGTJ]

I have a Predator 212 minibike equipped with a 30 series Torque Converter, and the governor has been removed. It’s a non-Hemi model.

**Issue:** The tires spring forward aggressively at startup. The only way to keep it stationary is to apply both brakes, which causes the belt and driver to smoke.

**Troubleshooting I've performed:**

- Replaced the throttle cable
- Replaced the carburetor (including the springs)
- Replaced the torque converter
- Sealed leaks around the carburetor and exhaust
- Changed the garter springs
- Replaced the spark plug
- Adjusted the carburetor jetting
- Set the idle to its lowest settings


Can someone help me

Show some pictures of the throttle linkage.

With the engine off, the throttle goes wide open. When the engine starts, the governor takes over and lowers the engine speed. Since you have no governor you'll need to add a hefty return spring to close the butterfly at start up to keep the engine from running away when it starts.

I hope he already fixed it in the last year and a half.

Check your maths? If your calculations are correct, I’m about 130 years old.

Is that in dog years?

If 5 months equal a year and a half, I'm one of those over 100 collecting SS, too.

Hey, I just got over pneumonia. I’m still delirious. And I have dyslexia on top of that. Not to mention I’m also an idiot and suck at math.
