Today we continue on with The Road to Horsepower with the Predator 212cc Hemi engine. On todays video we will be stroking the 212cc Predator to a 223cc using EC Carburetors stroker kit. We made a good jump in torque and slap it on a go kart to take it for a rip!

I got a free go kart. It has a predator engine that runs well. At first I thought I just needed to mount the tires and put the chain back on. But the chain was a little too long. So I mounted the tires than fixed the chain. But the axel seems to be bent. The chain tightens and loosens as it rotates. The main issue is the axel hex. So all the hardware on it is also hex. hex. Hex axles are not very common... I could change out for a round axle but then the wheels would not work on it. I hate when projects keep getting more and more complicated.

Thank you for continuing to provide us with all the great information,and entertainment. The front wheels are 'walleyed' and they need to be towed In a hair so the cart's not 'darty'.

I was wondering about maybe if you could maybe do a video on throttle and break control for a disabled person paralyzed from waist down? That would be awesome. One thing I never really see with all the KZfaq car builders or bikes or scooters or karts is handicapped accessible driving

Hey I’m currently putting together my first 2 stroker kit bikes and I started with my 10 year old daughters engine which is just the engine that came stock on my bike. I took it apart thinking it was a 196 like all of them and it’s a 70mm bore but with GX200 specs on the wrist pins and rod and flywheel. So anyway I’m installing everything to test fit and the piston was flopping around in the cylinder 😂. Regardless of that I found that the stroker crank was contacting the bottom of the piston and the rod cap bolts were contacting the engine case wall opposite of the jug. Basically it only had the ears clearanced. So I got busy with my grinder wheel taking all the black off of it and basically making everything shiny. I had to grind under the cylinder right where the rod passes by because it was contacting that too somehow. Crazy ish bro. Fun to play around and make it yours though. Knowing that my kid is gonna love the hell out of her custom painted Teal and black stretched MM80 with a bad ass engine

Will you please do a $200 32/25 14cc head next from EC? I’m sooo curious what that bigger valve does on the dyno. I have this identical build and when I added that head it took off almost 2 whole seconds a lap at the race track (NY RACE COMPLEX)

Because of the poor rod to stroke length ratio in these engines, you do see a lot of skirt wear in the bore. Just the name of the game.

Do they ever use the timing advance keys. Idk if they make a big difference in HP.

@WalkerSmallEnginePerformance 12 күн бұрын

That EC flywheel already has 34 degrees of advance which is what the cam card specifies. You could certainly use an offset key to advance or retard the timing if you needed to though.

What’s up red beard, used to race go karts weekly for about 10 years and one of the big things the guys were doing with the Briggs flat head engines was running an oil additive called “power plus hot oil additive”. Has some form of nitro in it I believe that’s gets left on the cylinder walls and allegedly makes more power. Wondering if you’ve ever heard of it and if you would dyno an engine with the stuff to see what difference in power it makes.

Am I the only one that sees dial calipers checking sub .010" tolerances and cringes? Generally that's reserved for the micrometer world. Likely not critical here but... Ahhhh lol

@rattlehead7281 12 күн бұрын

@bigblockmaro1 12 күн бұрын

Dial calipers are accurate to +/- .001”. Not accurate enough for engine clearances typically

@outlawamps96 12 күн бұрын

No, you’re not the only one. 😊

@user-jp1hs6sl3h 10 күн бұрын

If the calipers read in thousandths, they are just as good as a micrometer. Having said that, they are good for reading O.D. to that fine of tolerance. But aren't as accurate at reading I.D.. The inside will read slightly less than the actual measurement because of trying to use a flat measuring surface against a concave part surface. So there's a bit that isn't being measured. Just slightly below the surface you're trying to measure

@outlawamps96 10 күн бұрын

@@user-jp1hs6sl3h Saying that "calipers are just as good as a micrometer" is akin to saying a yardstick is as good as a precision scale... It just isn't so, and you can't compare them. That being said, I would be more inclined to use calipers on these small engines if that is all that I had, but I would never rely on them for building real engines, like motorcycle or automotive.
