Any advice on my comment?

I think you fixed my engine

@@nwee5758 that's great

Eli I'm glad I helped you in some way. If you read the comments on this video its all over the place. Just to be clear my engine didn't have anything wrong with it, but this video shows all the things I have ran into with my 212 predators over the years. Thanks for watching 😎👍

Definitely doing that in the future. Thanks for watching 👍😎

Have you made the video yet​@@WesleySnyder

omg 2000 views

Wesley Snyder Love the sound effects!! Had me dying when you finally got it started!😂😂

@@YonkersLV thanks Yonkers. I try to be funny when I can.

Up to 30k

Right on adam thanks. This is my most viewed video.

thanks man. i needed that right now.

Glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching.

Im glad to be entertaining and also funny.... Thanks for watching 😎👍

Glad i could help. Thanks for watching 😎👍

You are welcome...glad I could help

That's actually one of my cars I recorded for that sound. Thanks for watching 👍😎

i've done that same thing a few times.that was the right thing to do. thanks for watching

Glad to help Drake Liu. Thank you for watching and commenting

@@shushunliu6572 I would like to think they do ship to canada. You might not get the same deal because of shipping cost. Worst case you could have a guy in us buy and ship to you

Thanks my dude. Been getting mostly trolls on this video. Thanks for the positive feedback

@@WesleySnyder Ive got my motor on the bench now going to tear into it tomorrow, you gave me great ideas and i thank you for that, keep making those videos, trolls will be trolls fuck'em!

My last new hemi had a bunch of junk in the carb. Its worth a look. Thanks for watching 👍😎

Could be the carb running rich. A new carb is like 15 dollars on Ebay if it give you trouble

ya man im going to do a will it run with an old predator and i will cover valve lash in depth

@@WesleySnyder thanks brother! 🤘

Thanks for watching 👍😎

thank you for watching

It's hard to say you could have a faulty low oil sensor try unplugging the yellow wire and see if it starts

🤔Sounds like maybe some water in the gas. Has it been rained on. Drain the float bowl into a cup and check. 😎👍

I would clear the cylinder with carb cleaner first just incase oil got in there. Good luck. Thanks for watching.

Any ideas u just took it all apart clean it up and put it back together and boom it worked or was there more to it the video shows

Did you check the flywheel key could be sheared. If that doesn't work try to start it without the muffler on some times they get plugged. Thanks for watching 👍😎

Man I'm not sure I would start with checking the compression I guess and then maybe check the flywheel key to see if it moved a little bit good luck

I would see if it starts with starting fluid that would be a carburetor issue then maybe check valve lash and valve train to see if there might be a push rod issue then make sure the flywheel key is now sheered. Good luck 🤞

try a none impact drill first (a big one too) impacts do funny stuff

@@WesleySnyder ok will do. Valves are adjusted correctly, magneto gapped correctly, carb cleaned twice and flywheel key is good. I can tell by looking at the exhaust rocker arm that the compression release is working. Still....get afterfires and rope kickback?? Any other ideas cuz I'm out of them. I do get orange spark, seems kinda weak too. Shouldn't it be blue/white? Any more help I'd be grateful.

I'm in the same boat I have done everything 2or 3 times thing still want fire

I was thinking maybe there's not enough compression to run...

@@WesleySnyder gotcha I think your rite I'm go adjust the valves to open up a bit more cam card said .001 for both because when it gets hot they will grow

Ok under the plastic idle screw there is another plastic thing that you can pry out with a screwdriver, this is the idle circuit. Clean the small holes out with a piece of wire brush bristles. Should help with that. Thanks for watching 👍😎

sounds like a flywheel key might be sheared or the valve lash could be off

Wesley Snyder there is gas in the bowl but the spark plug seems dry

@@xKh4rma check that the valve lash sounds like the valve is not opening. 4 thousands .004 on both intake and exhaust I believe

I would start by checking for spark. Pull the spark plug out and plug it in to the plug wire resting the plug on the engine and pull rope. It should have a blue spark on the end. If it does try to use starting fluid. If it starts with that the carb might need cleaned

Your welcome...That's what happend in this video. people didn't believe me. I always use Lucas or hyper lube.

What weight of oil did you use. Some times the really thick 20 50 like oil can mess with the compression release.

Any help ?

I would re check the dots are lined up or maybe a valve is stuck open for some reason. Like something maybe in the valve cover.

@@WesleySnyder yea the cam lined up with the dot , when I try to start it it be easy to pull and sound like it don’t have a spark plug but it do

@@kbaxtre9290 oh i think figured it out a push rod is bound up holding the valve open. The "bolt things" are lifters and if the push rod is not in the cup all the way it hold valve open. Pull valve cover and push spring down wiggle push rod into place

@@WesleySnyder ok

Maybe the flywheel key is sheared.

If you put a different main jet in maybe it's to big or to small.

Vapor lock?

@@SimpleGr33n that does make sense

i got just enough info to help i think. it sounds like the carb is the issue try cleaning it real good. i think its flooding maybe. try that and get back with me

@@WesleySnyder ok thanks for the fast reply👍🏽

@@2zz866 ya man no problem

That sounds like bad gas or a fouled spark plug, could be the carburetor needs cleaned. Good luck with your engine. Thanks for watching 😎👍

Im thinking its not getting enough fuel in the carburetor to keep up, like the fuel line is kinked or plugged. But without more info i dont really know

@@WesleySnyder ok thank you it’s fixed now!

@@imagine4873 thats great. I'm glad I could help. Thanks for watching 😎👍

please contact me asap very important

@@teamswavymotorsports8338 whats up

Wesley Snyder do u have Instagram

Wesley Snyder facebook.com/smashbrother33 private message me

@@teamswavymotorsports8338 no y

Lol thanks for the pro tip

The only thing I didn't get on video in this video was I tried a drill on the flywheel. If you did everything I did and it wouldn't start. Try a drill on flywheel to clear it out. Thanks for watching👍

@@WesleySnyder what do you mean a drill on the flywheel?

@@evilokc you can get an adapter to put a socket on a drill and then take the fan shroud off. Put socket on flywheel nut using the drill to turn the engine over like a electric starter. It works to clear out the cylinder.

That's kitty is spoiled btw

Maybe the fuel tank vent is plugged. Try it with the cap off see if that helps

Ya good idea. I should have included that in the videos. Thanks for the comment

@@deucedeuce4223 it could be a carb issue " jetting" or if you minibike/gokart is geared for speed It could do that too

@@deucedeuce4223 its gota be the jetting then. try putting some tape over part of the air filter if it help you need a bigger jet

@@WesleySnyder 46,000 now. Congrats dooder.

I'm still surprised. I'm such a small channel.thanks for watching.

This is an old video, I and others have more videos here on KZfaq. I hope you figure out.

What kinda noise are we talking about

The idle circuit is plugged. There is a plastic thing under the plastic idle screw. Remove the idle screw and the idle thing pops out with a flat screw driver. Work each side and it will pop up. Clean it carefully as it is plastic and it will run great. Good luck

@@WesleySnyder I'll give it a go. Thanks for the advice!!

Well its been a while but i think it's 19mm or 3/4... But it may be wrong so don't be upset if im wrong. Thanks for watching 😎👍

@@WesleySnyder thank you. Was it a pop or misfire out of the exhaust? Mine was fine yesterday not it's misfiring from the exhaust and has a little smoke coming out. What would you recommend to check first?

@@WesleySnyder also it crank a few times but turned right off

@@hbc5284that could be so much... Check the key way for shear also the push rods if you have disassembled it, they could not be in the right place... If they are right its most likely a carburetor slash fuel issue... Make a short and link it I will watch it.... Thanks for watching 😎👍

Okay thank you

Hey I had an engine sitting for a while so I removed all the old oil and filled it with some new oil, I didn’t have enough so I mixed a little bit of the old oil in and it doesn’t start, what do you recommend I do?

Check for spark. If I doesn't have any you can disconnect the low oil cut off wire. Its yellow on a predator down on the lower front

@ ya starting fluid..I might work

@ dont scrap it. You can figure it out. You can try to pull the small wire off the coil. That's the kill wire. Then check for spark again

Pull the spark plug out and hook it to the plug wire and pull the cord. You should see spark on end of spark plug.

Ya some thing was jammed in it not letting it move. I didn't catch it on camera. It was a small piece of plastic from the governor i think.

Racing gokarts do that all the time but then the rope start cant hold up to the extra compression. Thats why those electric starters are used. I haven't been brave enough to do it myself. Oh by the way the reason why the engine in this video wouldn't start is because i had to much hyper lube in the oil making it too thick. Thanks for watching 👍😎

@@WesleySnyder i pulled a briggs out of storage and it fired right up. I think the predator may get turned into a boat anchor.

@@RattyFlyer I do love Good old Briggs and Stratton.

Some engines have plastic cam gears but the harbor freight predator 212 has all metal cam. Later in the video I take the side cover off and you can see that it has a metal cam gear. But yes the engines with plastic inside can cause it too

The air filter? Might just give it time to air out. Maybe clean the carb while you wait so it doesn't flood anymore. 😎👍

This was scripted. My engine never had a problem. This video just shows you what to check when your engine wont start. Thanks for watching 👍😎

thats weird. maybe return it if you can. if not ill help you figure it out

@@WesleySnyder nope I fixed it 😃, I wouldn’t be able to return it anyways with gas and oil already in it

@@Matthew-ib2kz that's great. glad you got it running so fast.

@@WesleySnyder thanks 🙏

It is .10mm Thanks for watching 😎👍

You have a 30-day warranty on that thing you might want to return it if not maybe me and you can figure this out

@@WesleySnyder I'm gonna give it another look tomorrow before I have it replaced. I do smell gas so I'm gonna try to adjust the carb......once I figure out how.

@@AdequateName. The last one I bought there was a bunch of crap in the carburetor and I ended up just cleaning it out and it ran just fine afterwards

@@WesleySnyder carb jets had some sort of debris, running fine now.

@@AdequateName. That is awesome 😎👍

If the decompression mechanism on the camshaft is broken or not working it will be difficult to start the engine with the pull start rope, if the camshaft is broken in half it will not start at all.

It should clear up after a bit. After it starts get it to rev and keep it there for a while. Should clear it out.

I would check for excessive gas in the cylinder causing hydro-locking if not some engines have a compression release that could be bad. Ether way pull the plug and of that helps check those

By any chance If its excessive gas how can I drain it

I opened the engine up and I found a little white thing that looks like a little tube that was in the oil can that be a problem

@@giovannigonzalez2932 that may be something to do with the compression release

@@WesleySnyder thats what I'm thinking I just don't know were that white thing goes

Check the flywheel key, it could be sheared.

@@WesleySnyder it's not spinning freely its really hard to rotate

@@WesleySnyder was working fine before maybe I did something with the timing the cam did fallout while I was working on it

@@WesleySnyder but I made sure to match the dots up

@@loufernando7617 thats what i was going to say next. if the tminig marks didnt line up it could do what your engine in doing. make sure the dots line up when insalling the cam.

Right on... thanks heariam. Trolls will be Trolls.

it could be the flywheel key is sheared

I checked it and its good

@@ivanayon8558 ok cool. make sure the valve lash is good too. what generator do you have

Its a homelite with a subaru engine 2800

Oh.. Subaru's have timing chains it may be something to do with a bad chain

Will it start with starting fluid

That is one thing I didn't cover in this video and it was "unhooked". Thanks for watching

I need more info to be helpful. is it locked up or just not starting. Thanks for watching 👍😎

@@WesleySnyder it’s just not starting, there is no compression and it just spins when you pull the starter

@@gizm0816 pull the valve cover to see if the valve's are moving. Could be just a stuck Valve hopefully

@@WesleySnyder I just got everything backed onto the motor,it’s probably a lemon and I have a warranty so I’ll just return it

@@gizm0816 probably best. Was wondering how new it was and if it was still under warranty.😎👍

Thanks for watching

Gotta get all the life out of them. That clutch is not on there anymore. I put a cvt on it right after this video went up

@@WesleySnyder hey man it’s cool ass hell I like your style just not something I’ve ever seen !

It was all fake... The predator motor was a paid actor... 👍😎 Thanks for watching 😎👍

im sure the compression release was the issue. some thing was jammed in there and fell out because it starts first pull now. i know you cant see it sorry for that...thanx for watching

"Had to been 1 of those 4 things".... Well no... That's where ur wrong.. valves could not of been (that) far out where it magically wouldn't start the next day.... Carb was cleaned that would of been an instant result ... Fly wheel key .. it's fine.. take the cam out lol.... Nothing .... Heck it may not of had spark and he's pulling the can out!!!! Lol.... Then magically he says we'll sometimes pulling it apart and putting it back together just fixes it lol.... WRONG .... Probably low on oil and when he "checks" the can and rips it apart fills it back up lol.... What a goof... Ur "trouble shooting" reminds me of a truck driver trying to "fix" his trk when he is very incompetent .... Better luck next time on the guessing game .

@@bwadventures2742 do you feel better now you got all that out. Thanks for watching

1 of 20 things I think we just guess
