Today we unbox and take a first look at the new Harbor Freight Predator 212cc Ghost 👻 racing kart engine. This is a box stock style racing engine for an asphalt racing kart. The new Ghost has a 6000 rpm digital governor, heavy valve springs, top plate, and VM22 round slide carb. The engine will not come with an air filter, exhaust, gas tank out of the box. We put the engine on our trail master mini bike for a first test ride. Let us know what you think and don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more!!!

Nice video, thank you. I’m a new subscriber and totally enjoyed this video. I’ve been involved with kart racing for 34 years now. All 2 stroke engines. I currently have a shifter kart and a grandson interested in getting in a kart. But he definitely does not need to be in my kart. I came across a video last night on the HF 212cc Ghost engine. It peaked my interest. My wife and I discussed this engine over coffee this morning. So old 64 year old Papaw ran his happy butt down to Harbor Freight and grabbed a new 212cc Ghost Engine and the accessories package. Been reading up a little today and then came across your channel this evening. I love the way you unboxed this engine. Honest opinion and no BS. I’m anxious to watch more of your videos. I feel you will help me cut down my learning curve on 4 stroke engines. I sure hope so, because I know nothing about them. I’d like to keep this stock starting out. But I did pick up on your recommendation of replacing the cast iron flywheel from the get go. Kind of curious as to the best oil, spark plug, type of clutch or torque converter that you would recommend if you don’t mind? Any and all information or options would be greatly appreciated. Can’t wait to start through your previous videos that could help me with this Ghost engine. Keep up the great video work. Totally loving your style. God bless.

Just a reminder to some of your younger viewers. The sheet metal coming around the fins on the block and head is there to form a cooling cowling. Too many young minibike hobbyist think the is optional heat shield. Not the case, this sheet metal is there to keep the flywheel fan air moving in-between the fins for proper cooling. If you remove this sheet metal the fan pushed air will not stay in between the fins and the engine can over heat.

The reason for classes in karting is for a level playing field. This engine is slightly above base model 212, with a better starting platform for mods, but that's not the role it's made to fill. It's geared toward racing out of the box and it will be a standard format to build more affordable karting leagues around. I'm glad to see it, and hoping that this will open up the kart racing world to more people who cant afford (or don't know about) LO206/Animal/WF racing leagues.

@davidhodge0201 2 жыл бұрын

That was the idea behind converting to the clone from the Briggs flathead. More affordable. More available, and level (ish) playing field. By the time I got out of kart racing it was over 1000 usd for a good Honda clone that could compete at the top. It has merely replaced the Briggs flathead at this point as far as being super expensive to be competitive (outside of local track amateur classes). Man I miss it but the amount of work that goes into being competitive in kart racing is crazy. Got burned out on it. A race car is cheaper, easier to maintain and from my experience alot less work. Lol.

@outcome2715 4 ай бұрын

Base 212 in my opinion is better , don’t gotta worry about restriction on mods like flywheels and losing your higher rev limit. The ghost is more for people who just want to buy a “race engine” then spend another 2-300$ on a kit of plug and play accessories to complete it 😂 don’t get me wrong to each their own but I feel like if your gonna get into something you need to learn it

This will never be raced widely. The Briggs 206 is locked and they have very good parity. These HF engines have neither and therefore would need blueprinted…. And no one wants to go back to the money burning process of blueprinting. The secret sauce to making LO206 racing affordable is the lock on the block. I wouldn’t race this engine if I got 10 for free, it would still be way too expensive.

I had it on a Flexo Big Bear, (TINY) minibike. 6,000 RPM Centrifugal clutch. That thing hauled ass. 0-60 in about 6 seconds. but that was its peak because of a 10-1 chain gear ratio. Great video.

@kwatt-engineer796 2 жыл бұрын

First impression, I you want an engine for a "one design" class With more power than the box stock 212, it looks like a good deal. But, if you want to have free license to massage a 212 , with no class limits, the stock 212 looks like the better choice . Then you could start with the 24 mm carb, billet flywheel, aftermarket valve springs and no governor. Plus you would add any other bits.you want. At this point you have more power than the Ghost for similar bucks. In that scenario the stock 212 makes more sense. Good video, you provide a great service to help the rest of us say abreast of developments. You mentioned a laundry list of other similar engines. Do you think it would be too much of a deep dive to compare all of these different engines strengths and weaknesses in one video. Your channel is my "go to" source for design tech on this hobby.

I agree theoretically but the problem with this on this engine is the variability that comes with a cheap Chinese engine. People would buy 20 and race the fast one or they wouldn’t and most likely just lose. That sort of defeats the cost savings of a locked block crate motor. The Briggs are really close so you buy one and can win… and run it for several years with no blueprint and only touching up the valves once or twice a year.

Kinda what my youngest son's best friend has on his go cart. And it's freaking fast top speed is like 53 miles a hour. And with me on it top speed is like 49 miles a hour. Lucky the gas and brake are on the steering wheel.

Probably could rig a fitting in the top oil cap for a pulse pump, no disassembly required.

The pulse pump valve goes on the top cap just like the 206.

nice vid, just have one question, in all your builds when you change the flywheel you place stock key or you place a advanced one? i have a gx390 with billet flywheel and a 6 timming key, but my spark plugs keep getting dark i think timming is way off.
