Predator 212cc keeps stalling out. Instead of removing the governor, i tied the spring that connects to it shut. Opened up a lot more power, but it only runs for about 30. Here’s a step by step process of troubleshooting this problem: Check if the carburetor is causing the issue.
Clean the main jet and the pilot jet. So now i can start it, but only with the choke on and then it runs poorly. As soon as i turn the choke off, the engine runs well for like 2 seconds and then dies. I've tried opening the throttle a. Sounds to me like a tank venting problem because it will start right back up on one pull and then die again after a short spell. Anyone have a similar experience with the 212? I can't figure out why, because if i spray starting fluid in the carb it starts and revs super high, but then dies out quickly. I have the choke on, the mixture is running very rich, and. New spark plug, new clean fuel, cleaned the carb, float not stuck. Choke on, fuel on, pull it and she fires up but then stalls out. As soon as i give it throttle it dies. I did the 3 hour break in period at idle. The engine is warm in the video and the choke is off. I changed the spark plug to an ngk. I’ve checked the air filter.

The engine briefly runs of a squirt of starter fluid, then dies, as expected. Thus, u guys would probably say its a fuel problem? However, the carb is brand. So, it usually starts first pull, but yesterday it fired for a couple seconds and wouldn’t start after that. Seems to be getting enough fuel and spark. Oil level is good. I recently acquired a go kart with a predator 212cc engine already installed. The engine has had this problem since i got it where the engine stalls. Now when i ride it starts up great and runs great for 3 to 5 minutes, then it starts bogging down when the throttle is pressed. It idles fine but will not accelerate then dies if i give. Run with the gas cap loosened and see if it does it again. I just replaced a coil on my chain saw after testing with a spark light. This is a common ignition coil issue. The other issue is possible,. Hmm, it only starts with the choke off (cold or not) and i have to give it throttle for about 1min then i can let go of the throttle and it will run on idle for a few minutes then it kinda starts to die out.
