I have a problem with when I start the bike the clutch is already disengaging. Its high idle rpms. Im sure how to fix this. Any suggestions?
That was the first thing I did. If I turn it any further it'll fall out. Lol my c clip on the needle is on the top and my throttle line has not been tightened what so ever. If I tighten it at all it pulls the needle up.Turn the idle screw out.
How do i test for a vacuum leak?Vacuum leak?
With the engine running, spray wd-40 around all the joints of the intake. If the engine speeds up, you found it. Or use soapy water and look for it to slow down.How do i test for a vacuum leak?
Thank you. I actually think I know where it's coming from now that I think about it. I'll test laterWith the engine running, spray wd-40 around all the joints of the intake. If the engine speeds up, you found it. Or use soapy water and look for it to slow down.
I think that carb will be happier if it sits more level.
Yeah I just rode it for the first time. Speed radar got me at 65mph. I almost couldn't believe it. I don't think I'll go back to two strokes. LplNew to this discussion but I'd like to say that's an amazing build. I just finished my Predator 212 build a few weeks ago. Mine isn't nearly as nice as yours . I found an old 1990s mountain bike on Facebook Marketplace with a huge frame that would fit a Predator and started from there. Front and rear cantilever brakes. 3L bolt on gas tank. Replaced the wheels. No suspension at all. Lightly modified the Predator 212 (internal governor and oil sensor removal, carb rejet, upgraded air filter, and custom-made free flowing exhaust with muffler). Used a CVT/torque converter with to drive the rear wheel. It tops out at 50mph and can do a wheelie. You'll love the 4-stroke torque the Predator can make. It's enough to wheelie from a dead stop. Watch out at first or you might get thrown off (I almost did) .
