How to fix a Predator 212 that will start but not idle

Will this still work if the engine doesn't even have a hour on it and it's baysicly straight from the store???

Thank you

Quick and to the point. Great vid!

Took the carb off twice, cleaned main jet, bowl, etc..This is exactly what was wrong. Now I can fix same prob on my generator too. Thank you so much!

I installed engine chain wont fit 35 brand new 212

how do u setup your throttle cause i have it almost like that and it only goes 17'

Damn. High maintenance engine. Barely rode it last year and it already dies all the time. Boy, I hate small engines

Ive bought 2 new carbs same thing want stay idled

Great vid... saved me.... My Vw scooter (Volks Pod Bug Fen, U Tube)... wouldn't run this spring....only on " choke".... so I followed your post.... found both jets.. air passages had.... yuk. Thanks ! 😎

Wow thanks man this happened to my engine and it was brand new only had one tank of gas.. didn't run it for 7 months and this happened brand new engine wtf 😂😂

man I hope this is all it take...bought this motor brand new about a week ago and it wont stay on more than 20 secs...seems to be flooding the engine also

Thank you this video did the trick awsom

thank you so much, i watched other videos and tested the gas cap, spark plug, cleaned the main jet, kill switch, and nothing lol till this video

It catches and fires off a few rpms n fans flat on its face i dont have the factory style tank fire fuel will that affect it

So mines start or catch compressor fire acombsution or two that’s it and i have to spray cleaner in while holding trike open

THIS IS THE FIX.... HAHAHAHA YES.
Unclogged that hole and bam 4 year old engine runs like new. Super easy fix... Thank You So Much...

You also need to check that the emulsion tube isnt plugged

Thank you. Fixed my problem.

What is the mane of that little black thing under the idle screw? Because the O ring is ripped at the bottom.

You swapped out carburetors in the middle of filming

Wish I watched this 3 hours ago. This worked like a charm. You're the man!

What about if it revs full throttle when u turn choke off “run” position?

I’m running no ethanol and cleaned the carb twice and will run on choke for a little while but then die if I give it throttle it will run but won’t idle. Do you have any idea why it’s doing that?

Very good video. Thanks

Well ill be damned

what if it’s a new carb

Ima just upgrade the carb instead of using that pos

Dude I just now watched this and 3 hours of yelling at that stupid motor was solved. Great video! I had replaced everything when I watched it.

Thanks bud

Never knew that little bugger was in there. Cleaned and idles perfect now. Thanks!
