Hey, awesome. I followed your step by step, straight to the point, videos and fixed my kart. Removed the governor and set it up the way you said. Goes GREAT! And it also fixed my problem of my engine idling so high it kept engaging the centrifugal clutch and had to ride the break to slow it up. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. ♥️❤♥️

Extremely helpful. You know what you’re doin! Quick and detailed!

Glad I watched until the end because I was going to just bolt the oil sensor hole like you did but tapping it would be better. Thanks for the guide!

thanks for the info it really helps. I'm in the middle of redoing a manco black fox and this will be the first time I'm attempting any mods on a engine and I don't want to mess it up I just want to have a fun and fast kart to enjoy. Well thanks for the info and like your videos keep up the good work. Peace.

1:43 "There's six bolts. As you can see, there all 10mm". $^*_%$="! Now I gotta go back to Harbor Freight to buy 2 more 10mm sockets. Why two?... because I know one will disappear on the way home.

What tools, and bolts you needed to plug the holes? Would love to know buying 2 predator motors and I'm going to want to take the governors out.

Thanks so much, I am 13 and just got my first one and I will be following a lot more of your tutorials.

When your watching a video on how to do something but then the instructor records everything, except the purpose of the video lmao.... "okay next were going to (video cut) im going to show you on another engine because my camera didn't record" 😂 ????

Just a quick addition you could carefully wiggle the governor arm off by the crank and cut off the elbow below the two crimped wings. Then reinstall just the straight shaft into the case to use the external governor arm for your throttle. By removing the elbow portion you wont have to worry about the arm contacting the crank shaft and its a lot easier than tapping the hole for a screw. I did also remove the plastic gear just for insurance also. Looked fragile since I was inside the case already.

So I have 2 212s hemis and 2 301cc my question is performance wise just adding the exhaust air cleaner kit on 301cc vs adding that to the 212cc.. whats the hp of both and is the 301cc worth the extra $120

What size tap is needed for the oil sensor hole? It looked much bigger than a 1/4-20.

Do you have to make any changes to the throttle once governor is removed

Hi RBG, which springs do you bin off and keep on the throttle assy?

What tap do you recommend to use on the oil sensor hole

Question! Will piston rings from a Honda gx 200 fit on a predator 212cc? Thanks!

Once you cut governor rod how do you run throttle cable ect for mini bike if the governor arm is gone on top ?

I removed the governor but now it's hard to pull. It easily runs without the spark plug and I've tried swapping for a new cam to see if it was a compression release problem, and I've reset the valve lash. What's wrong?

What would happen if you just disconnected and removed the govenor arm and left the internals in place? Would that work?

maybe i didnt hear it but i noticed you didnt mention a flyhweel upgrade after the governor removal. i hear for safety reasons you have to get a billet flywheel because the stock flywheel cant keep up with the speeds of an ungoverned engine and can blow up! Can i just replace the flywheel with a billet or do i HAVE to upgrade the pistons and cam to keep up with new flywheel? money is tight so i dont wanna upgrade the rest if i dont totally have to.

i did this now i have no compression and it wont start i think it has to do with the 2 round valve things that go up and down do they have to b in a certain position and i lined the dot up with the other dot

Thanks to you I successfully removed the governor on my 224. Appreciate it. I haven't started it yet but I think I'm good. Lol🤞

I have the predator 301, just removed the governor, do I need a upgraded flywheel and/or 50lbs springs?

Do you have to make an oil flinging arm to attach to the crank ? Like the vertical to horizontal briggs conversion?

Will it run if I gust un wire the oil sensor or does it have to be removed go-kart will not drift shuts off every time

What about the shaft inside the motor that you broke the governor gear off? Does that not have potential to come out over time? Do you not to go into the crankshaft side and remove that pin totally?

I removed the governor and oil sensor on a brand new predator 6.5 predator engine that has never been started before and it won't start. I have the switch turned on the run position I have the gas turned on and the Choke on the start position fresh gas and oil is filled. The only thing I can think of is when I was removing the governor the cam shaft fell out I matched up the two small dots I didn't know if it couldve thrown off my values. Any suggestions thanks I don't have it hooked up to a kill switch yet also and oil sensor is removed

Wouldn't it be okay to leave them sealed as they are and just cut along the sides ? That way you wouldn't have to seal anything.

is there any way to do this without a dremel/angle grinder?

I love watching your video's man they have taught me a lot. I spent around 2 hours to get that little ring off the governor to get the plastic gear out. I have a DB30 I'm putting a 212cc predator on with a max torque ss 15 teeth clutch with a 70 tooth back sprocket with a header I'm in the process of ordering my upgraded air filter. What is my ratio gonna be I'm kinda new to this. 70 tooth back sprocket with 15 tooth clutch. Is that a 4.6 ratio?

What will be better if i buy the stage one modification kit or do this

So my question is if i was to remove just the spring and the tension bar on top of the engine would it mess up or still activate the govner

My mini bike motor mount angles motor forward about 10 degrees or so. Should I add oil to engine while it is level then see if the oil sensor trips.

This is probably a stupid question...what is the purpose of having a redundant oil fill cap (opposite the dipstick cap), on this engine? Or am I incorrect in thinking both caps access the exact same sump area in the crank case, and use the same fluid (engine oil)?

Hey I was wondering I just purchased a makuni carb do I have to remove the gonernor for it to work properly I also just added a torque converter

Well if governor remove should I put a new connecting rod and new valve spring or can I still use the stock one and will these affect anything or will it break

Hey thanks for the reply. So is taking out the oil sensor necessary or can I leave it in. Also once the governor is out do I have to do a direct throttle mod like your one in your video.

What rpms can you hit without the Govenor?

For the Oil sensor hole can you just cut the wire loose on the inside, pull the wire out, seal the hole where the wire was with silicone, and just use that bolt to seal?

I'm a little confused. RBG always has the motor off and seems really involved. I see other videos where they just put their minibike on the side and just pick the governor out with needlenose pliars.

What would be the effect or change of removing the flywheel?

What is the top speed with and without the governor ??

Can you just leave the arm in after removing the governor or shim the arm so you don't have to plug it after? 🤔

Is this worth it for a yerfdog? With the Honda gx190??? Mine has power but it’s not fast. Will this make it faster? And is it a big difference or no?

If you remove the governor, along with changing jets and air filter,.will you only need to change to the 18 lb valve springs to keep from blowing up the engine ?

6:12 Do I need a tap set or can I just hand screw a 1/4 inch x 20 bolt in by hand and use red loctite ?

Hey Red, if I remove the governor what controls it from over-revving into the stratosphere? Is it possible to stop the rpm's at 5000 or so so I don't have to mod internals? Love the videos, keep up the awesome work.

I removed the governor, the oil sensor with the yellow wire and the box were the yellow wire goes to. I have no spark now. Any idea? It's a good brand new predator 212. I did everything the video said.

To plug the hole where the arm was for the governor I just found a bolt that I was able to start without tapping. Got it about half inch in and cut the head off with a dremel because it will never need to be removed.

Should I do new valve springs after the governor removal or can I just run it with the stock valve springs? What would be the advantages to stiffer valve springs and which would you recommend? Thanks for the post!

If you remove the governer on the 212, what other mods do you need to have to support it? besides jets/exhaust/intake... should i do billet flywheel/rod and valve springs too?

Considering the time, and chance to just generally ruin something internally, [lose a washer, cause an oil leak, get 'junk' into the crankcase] what are the advantages of actually removing the sensor rather than just unhooking it electronically from the outside? With the same thought in my, why go inside the engine to actually remove the governor internal when it can be bypassed externally? Looking forward to your reply.

What should I purchase after doing this to prevent a hole in the engine

When you run the dremel tool inside the engine and tap the hole you put metal filings inside the engine that could destroy it.

How do you keep the throttle linkage after removing it

Nice short version it will be good help to anyone wanting to do this!

I recently removed the governor && didn’t add 18 pound valve springs, so when i run the engine now, i choke it to start and the when i completely unchoke it, then cuts off. would not have 18 pound valves springs be the problem ?

@Red Beards Garage, will disconnecting the wire to the oil sensor do the same thing?

What type of oil should I run in mine after doing a governor removal

Why do you not tap the low oil sensor like you do the governor arm hole?

What size bolt did you use to plug the oil sensor hole

Why did you take the oil sensor off?

Will some jb weld do fine if I use it to plug the wholes ?

Say do you know the feeler gauge size for a predator 212 governor removal

I don't even try to remove the C clamp, I just cut the spoke if the cog with small pair of wire cutters. All that's left is the hub, it won't spin any more so it's not a problem. For the hole in the crankcase, just use a self tapping bolt with red locktite

RB I opened the valve cover and realized that my push rods were not engaged after putting it back toward. That's why it wouldn't start. I don't know how to reset them!!! I'm new to the DIY and literally everything I learn is from you. Please help

I have a predator 212 engine that the pull cord keeps locking up i tried taking the spark plug out and pulling it but it just doesnt budge i have taken the governer off but it was running really good then i shut it off and this happens can you tell me what you think is the problem

How are you hitting the clip and where at to bend it ive tride that and 2 screw drivers to pry it apart and nothing...

why don't you jt bypass the wiring from the oil sensor ? It would be much cleaner and you could connect a light io it to tell you when there's a probleme with oil.

What size bolts 🔩 did you use to plug the oil sensor and governor hole ???

Couldn’t I just cut the wire and it disables the oil sencer?

I was tapping the top where the gov hole goes and it cracked the top of the hole. What do I do? Is it done? Can it be fixed?

love your videos, Thanks

Hey I did this to my predator 212cc engine and it doesn't wana run has plenty of compression but doesn't wana start up

I just disconnected the two wires on my oil sensor and it never gave me a issue just doesn’t work now I just check my oil and know when to change it

Could you use some sort of cementing paste to plug the wholes? Or the gb weld paste?

Do you have a video that shows how to hook up the throttle after you remove the governor?

Boss good day me I ask if the governor damage the rpm it's not work boss?

If I remove the governor , do I have to install 18lb valve springs? Will it hurt anything to leave it stock?

what is the difference, taking out the governor gear or just use a zip tye on the spring ?

Hello so i put a stage one kit on my predator and seems it doesnt want to rev high do you know a reason for this ?

if i take off/disable the govenor and put a jet .038 in stock carb with stage 3 exhuast pipe and upgrade air adapter will i need stonger springs then stock and rlv/billet flywheel?

Quick question. So I want to keep the throttle linkage stock... Could I cut that little arm that would engage the governor, and keep it so I could still use the external governor arm for the throttle?

Why not fill the holes with Epoxy (JB weld) ?

hola buenas noches ....desearia saber si ...al retirar el regulador de revolucion de un motor 6.5 hp , este trae consecuencias negativas en su funcionamiento?

Do you need to put in a billet flywheel with the governor removed?

hey bud why can't I just leave the gear inside and just remove the linkage that goes to the throttle. will that work?

I've been watching your videos and didn't even realize you live in Sweetwater! Lol I'm in vonore

So you just run a bolt through the throttle arm?

I have an old predator 212 hemi engine. I removed the governor and am having difficulty getting everything back together. Especially, since I got a throttle plate. Don't suppose you could do a video highlighting the steps on do's and don'ts to make sure it'll run?

i ran about 6700 rpms and blew the enging up i flew off my minibike at 80 mph. my hair caught on fire . boss hogg that was fun.

Redbeard!! What do we do for the throttle linkage and all that since that governor paddle isn't there any longer ? Wish there was more on that. Would love to see a separate short video on it

What size bolt for oil sensor

is this the same on the GX270 honda engine?

what do you do if you dont have a tap set

Hey man I have a predator 79 cc and I'm debating whether I should remove the governor or not I would remove it but I'm scared that I might cause damage can you please tell me if I should remove it

Okay can someone tell me how you would go about hooking the throttle back up with out the governor arm?

can you send a link to the bolt and nut please

Is it the same way on the 196cc engine on the warrior mini bike

OK I'm gonna show you how to remove the governor, OK we're back governors out. Skipped the part the video is for.

can the governor gear shaft fall off into the motor?
