how to bypass the governor on a predator 212 engine

I don't think this was actually bypassing the governor. The governor is still pulling against the throttle cable inputs. This method is still probably a nice step beyond factory though.

Or take the whole assembly off and get a slide carb since the throttle cable goes directly to the carb and doesn’t need all that anyway

Question if I put aftermarket air filter on 212cc predator engine an I don't have a filter for my OHV can I plug the hose that come from it with a screw on the end of it thanks

Gracias por la informacion

Predator engines won’t blow up ungoverned with stock internals. I raced a predator 212 with a Briggs animal 206cc racing 26mm carb and a Honda racing exhaust as well as a vacuum fuel system, on my professional racing gokart for 3 years. Never even had a sign of wear.

Bullshit, you got so many pretenchale problems running that ×××× Rig.

U R awesome genius , ❤

Sounds like your doing a lot of guessing on what may or may not work😢.

Here I was thinking you had to take off the backing plate and take the “mechanical” governor off. And the gears off the camshaft. 😢

this takes the cake as the worst way to bypass the governor i've ever seen. listen to anyone else just don't do this

Great method. With a little ingenuity, you can make it look better. A spring bracket that looks like OEM made it, and a throttle cable clamp on the governor arm.

Does this work for the 224?

What happens when governor arm breaks at the top of engine

DUDE THANX VERY INFORMATIVE

You said you had several of these why are you buying another what happened to the others ?

Do you need a fly wheel

danger:bypassing the governor on an engine with a stock flywheel and valve springs the flywheel can explode past 4000 rpm and kill someone or you and having stock valve springs it can cause valve float buy billet flywheel and upgraded valve springs if you want to bypass the governor

Nice video and explanation, but that zip tie tail really makes me hate the entire video it really made me mad.

Thank you for the helpful vid it helped us alot.

Dude, my motor won't start now !!!!!

Soo good

Tthanks for the no how

Does it make it faster?

looks like its operating the same as when you started

That's a lot newer motor and a different

I have the same predator engine but my choke must be close to idle if I open it, it dies out does that mean I need a new carburetor or can I just clean it up

So this worked great for a while, but once I put a torque converter on my engine it suddenly became governed again, anybody know anything about that?

Thank you for the simple video finally someone who can easily show how to do something no bs

Do you really have to do it to the arm I just said fuck the arm and went to the carb drilled a hole in the black piece and shoved cable thru there and looped it around and heavy duty zip tied it at an angle it work like a charm fr

Would just removing the spring from the governor affect the use of the engine its self?

The reason the governor is on there is for standard applications like running equipment and machinery. The reason we remove it is for better throttle response, not more rpms. As long as you don't over rev it, you should be fine.

Great advice, but did nobody notice that the front spring hook fell out when he pushed the cable through the arm. Gotta catch those things.

Redneckcomputergeek made a video showing how to remove the governor and still keep the stock throttle linkage.

If I'm upgrading to a mikuni carb, can I just remove the governor arm and apparatus? Thanks.

Most afraid of the cheap magnet on the flywheel coming off that's why I think it's recommended that you use a billet flywheel

The people saying it will blow up must not have heard of VM22 mikuni clone carbs

Thanks for this. I noticed this configuration on the KT 196 ENGINE, I know its got more juice than its produced to make. This video explains very well what is needed or not needed.

Good video you explained things very well

Same process for the 224??

hmm, i left the throttle assemble in place and left the cable hooked up the normal way. then i disconected the governor and ran a new custom linkage bar, made from the old one, from the throttle lever to the carb. the governor is fully disconnected and left to do whatever it does. for me that was easier because the throttle cable was already hooked up and in place and i didn't want to mess with it.

What is the purpose of removing that governor arm if it does not change the functions of that engine what is that point topic for this video

Old videos are best.

DO NOT FOLLOW THIS GUYS INSTRUCTIONS.....RUINED MY ENGINE THE FIRST RIP......Thanks dick.

How do u put the governor arm back on because I can’t get it on

Since I did that I somehow need to flip all my gearing and chain to the other side

How many more rpms are you getting with this being done?

THANKS

Wow, butchery what the? i take nothing from a punk.

The governor rod still moving! Still chocking the RPM back.

Split the case, go inside and impeach the governor, get rid of all his cabinet members and all useless, spinning materials. Plug the hole on top with a plastic push pin. I have honestly put over 5,000 miles on my board track bike and still counting, these things are indestructible.
