You need to install a voltage regulator/rectifier. At the moment you're running unregulated AC voltage to the light. You'll end up blowing the light and cooking the coil. Especially if you connect both coils. A regulator/rectifier costs about $10 on eBay. Get the 5 pin plug (5 wire) one so you can connect both coils to it.
Its crazy how much power a non governed one of these engines is...got one of those nitrous kits im gonna toss onto my cammed, non governed 22mm Mikuni 212...What size are those 8mm bolts that hold the charging coil to the block? 1.5in or 2in, or bigger? Nice work...love the video..
I believe I used a crank bolt to match the threads and I took a tape measure to the coil thickness and added 3/8", then found a bolt that was as close to that length as I could. I don't have the exact specs on hand I apologize. THANK YOU FOR THE LOVE!!!!
Other than the cause that you can order online for the 212 predator engine is there any other motor that you can adapt over or coils that you can adapt from another motor to the 212 that's a question I need cuz I'm real low on cash

for a second i thought i didnt need one just needed reassurance thanks
Honestly i ment to get one anyway but I've been running without it for 2 years now without a lick of trouble.
@@Rep361Texas Probably because you're using an LED light. Most LEDs wil handle 6-36v. A halogen light would have blown.
@@brettwhitla4425 Correct, there was a little strategy with the led choice. Its also a lot less load.

When you removes the flywheel does it hold up okay to the high rpm. I thought about removing it on mine and it has the charging coil system.
Not sure actually, I removed the oem ram flywheel just to put the charging one on, I havent ran one without a flywheel
@@Rep361Texas I know this is old but doesn't it need the magnet on the outside of the flywheel to power the spark plug?

Great video can you help me clean out my shop? Lol thanks bro
Sure thing, just let me know!!!!
Will the charging coil work with the stock fly weel or do you need the special fly wheel somebody please reply
You have to get the coil and flywheel combo, the stock flywheel wont clear the coils and doesn't have the magneto for them.
All that fancy air intake and exhaust..is useless unless you do a rejet...but good video and demo..
It came with a re jet kit, its re jetted, but agreed noine should waist time and money without rejetting youd actually be losing power
