Жыл бұрынAzusa Minibike Predator 212 engine blew up
The engine finally gave up on the Predator 212-powered Azusa minibike while making a video. Pulled the engine apart to see if I could repair the problem.

Whenever I have a build where I have to use the slip on retainers I buy an extra exaust retainer and use it on the intake side as I like the fact that it slips on and has a lash cap that locks it in place I figure it adds a little extra insurance that it won't fall off

This is my new favorite channel, I’ve always wanted to build a little engine and I now have a 212 pred. And a gx390, I’m going to build the 212 for a drift trike. And the gx390 for a go cart! Well let’s hope I have the skills to get it done lol. Love the channel, very informative for sure!

Thats insane but what really shocks me is a 22lb spring broke a 5.5mm valve iv got 26lb spring and billet retainers and stock split keeps on a 5mm valve stem and she just finished her second year together unfortunately my block is what is failing on my engine as it's got tons of stress fractures around the jug and top of the block

I bought what looks to be this same Azusa frame a few years back, but just really started testing out a couple roadside find motors on it. It has those same “winged” mount brackets on the frame near the back sprocket but I I just now realized during your muffler re-install that they must be for what looks to be a tensioner for the whole rear wheel assembly? I’m currently using one of those bolt-brackets for a roller-tensioner, but that looks much more robust than the spring and roller tensioners. That bracket in front of the rear sprocket that mounts on those three frame-brackets, does it have anything to do with tensioning the chain or is it a dust cover for the wheel-bearing? Thanks! Edit: Wait… It just occurred to me that tensioning wouldn’t work through that method haha. It’s a brake drum isn’t it?

I was curious about the carburetor on these little engines do the majority of these engines have the same Mounting for the carburetors, like will a mikuni for the 212 also fit a tilliston 212 or for a 3hp engine ?
@Black66 Жыл бұрын
Yes, the majority of them are the same. Check out the playlists. I swap many carbs over many different engines.

I've always ran 212 hemi engines, and both valves get a lash cap. I noticed you didn't put one on the intake valve, is that right on these non-hemi heads?

How many hours do you think you had on that engine? I've got one built up 236cc engine right at 70 hours. Zero maintenance but oil changes. Really curious how long it'll be before it dies. I've always wanted to know how long the life expectancy of one of these engines is when putting out multiple times the factory power.
