Brother lift the wiper arm then pull the tab, itll usually pop right off.

Lol luv this

I use a 115 jet in my kt196.

Awesome

Dont know if anyone else seen it but when you removed the needle you dropped the nylon washer that goes under the e clip. If u look really close on the paper towel you will see

He didn’t even tune it

Bro change the main jet in the carburetor it won’t work that great unless you do

Awesome video, very informative and great commentary. I have a 1987 dodge ram b250 5.2 v8, up in Canada eh! Wondering who/where is your go-to for ordering parts? My alternator is charging but not as it should, and is causing my batteries to discharge while driving.

mid interior myself. Heres to old farts on BTs

Ugh! I just did the same thing in my b350, but in the back. I have a window leak.

I just started on a 52 F-1 project. I intend to restore mostly as original, including the flathead and three speed column shift. I will consider a brake modernization though. It would be nice to have a two chamber master, but most that I can find need a new location and pedal modifications, and are mostly designed for disc brakes (front) and power boosters. I owned and drove one of these 40 years ago, and don't recall the brakes being particularly weak. I won't be hot-rodding this, so how relevant is a modern disc brake conversion? Also not sure the disc conversion will fit inside the original steel wheels which I plan to keep using. Any recommendations on this? As for the $200 flaring turret tool, I see that I can buy a five piece hard line set in stainless for less $$. However, the truck I have is from a dry climate, and the current hard lines still look usable. Is there a way to test the lines, or determine if they are sound enough to continue using? Do they rust from the inside and harbor weaknesses unseen from the outside? I will definitely be replacing all the cylinders, flexible lines, and pads regardless. And I'm pretty sure I'll need new drums all around. Do you have a good source for new brake drums for a 1952? Thanks, Matt

I also use a drill battery and billet flywheel

I use those hex standoffs to raise front of gas tank and make a little bracket to raise rear of it as well. Then i tap fuel outlet for 1/8 pipe tap threads. Add a fitting for a 3/16"" ( usually ) fuel line vs. the tiny stock id one and my fuel delivery issues are solved

how do you change the jet??

I have the same rig (willie nelson). :). mine is making the same noise....I wonder if it's that same smog pump bearing...

I did something similar except I rounded my console (half moon shaped) to eliminate sharp edges and for a clean OEM look. Wish I could upload a photo for you to see.

Nice video - glad i watched it. Ty! I gotta say this but don't let it bother you - im 60, played drums (loudly!) for some 35+yrs, seen probably 100 or so concrrts (incl Ted Nugent, loudest live shows in history!), a wartime veteran (lotsa missle/explosion action, woohoo!), drywall hanger/metal framer..... my point? One ear, blown. Other, not so good. Your voice register, while not harsh - actually soothing?, is Soo hard to hear! (For me, that is) Thought it was just me & my old pal, tinnitus, but asked my wife & she agreed (& hell, we never agree!). You speak clearly, ty, just kinda quiet. Oh, well, my problem- ear buds should help, right? Btw, i thought you might want something between your radiator & the puller, pump, etc, like some cardboard or big cookie/pizza pan, to block a possible "Oops" into your radiator. You just never know when the gods of fate are gonna drop a deuce right next to your hands! Thanks again, enjoyed your work!

what size Jet did you end up using in the carb

Tie the black spring so it doesn’t stretch

Engine riser

Maybe I missed it but how did you and to what did you connect the return line leading from the pump? Into the rad or another hose leading to the transmission cooler?

All the small Honda knock offs are made in the same factory in China and everybody puts their own paint on theres

The torq-a-verter has plenty of gearing, that being said, I have have great luck with installing a larger rear (+10 teeth) sprocket for acceleration. It did NOT seem to affect top speed.

Interesting idea thanks

What is the thickness ?

Oh jeez. There are so many better engine choices out there. Only good thing about the Predator 212's is the initial cost of the engine. If that's a hemi were you sure to get a flywheel that fits the hemi?

this was extremely painful to watch ! DIY is definitely NOT your forté !

I rel\ally like these series of videos - it has me strategizing my BT200X purchase!!! What I just noticed is that the easier route on the exhaust would be to cut out the ANGLE at the flange (connection to the enginea0 THEN weld that back reducing that welded chrome look. Just an idea - i will have to try it on mine and let you know!!!

Bro good content keep doing vids you are doing great keep going!❤

Dude mine is a base 196 hisun engine came with it I got just a cold air intake and a 1 inch pipe for exhaust maybe 1 foot long and I’m slow take off because no TC but I get up to 47mph top speed and I am 5 foot 10 weighing 320 pounds

Have you had to take the torque converter off for any reason? If so, howd you do it with that press fit adapter? I installed mine same as you, but im curious how thats going to work getting it back off lol.

Did you do the jets and race valve springs or just leave it as is?

Dude!!! Add a carb and hit 41 MPH??? AWESOME!!!!!!!

You said it is way quieter right?

While watching this video I thought "What about throwing an MRE into the mix?" MREs (Meals Ready to Eat) are an easy way to stave off hunger if you get stuck out one trail ride. Usually they are cooked with some boiling water but who's to say some cold water won't do in a pinch? Just a thought!

During the preview of parts, I was like "Yeah, yeah! YEAH!! YEah um what? throwing everything at it AND the kitchen sink> YEEEEAHAAHAHAHAHA!!!! " 😜Okay I'll calm down. Damn I want one of these BT200Xs! Keep it up!!!!!!

Youre lucky you didnt have to do any setup after installing the carb. My 196 will idle but under any load struggles to come up in rpms until about half throttle, will even stall, but if i can get it to half throttle then GOES

Why did you buy a whole new throttle? All u had to do was put a tip on end of original cable and just buy a new cable

Take the gov. Out

It burns my plastic

Go to Auto Zone and get a LED capacitor. The capacitor will stop the flickering at idle. The lighting coil is separate from the ignition coil.

Skip the pain. Put on a HF 224. Your original engine is poor quality and known to break crankshafts. You”ll protect your sanity and wallet

Great short! 🎉

Great advice, I ride the ct200u-ex...definitely need a rack to haul a kit. Was the ending a mock incredible hulk outro...lol...👍🙂

Thank you for citing the light type so I can get an LED. I have been searching for hours!

*Promosm*

The real issue here is that throttle stop plate that’s welded. Grind that weld out and remove the screw. Then you got 30mph plus

Will this fit a 224 predator?

How do you change the jet , and what size did you put? I just ordered the same carburetor today!
