Predator 224 gets a cast aluminum flywheel 

The cast aluminum flywheel has the full size cooling fins too. It’s a steal for what you get. Thanks so much for doing all of these mods and videos. You are the best small block engine modder and tester on RU-vid.

Dude those drive byes with the camera cracked me up everytime 🤣

Love ur vids learn lots from them thanks

I dig your videos, simple not over produce, GREAT info, just like RU-vid used to be.

Love the videos! I watch all ove them at least 10 times 👍👍👍👍

Another AWESOME video, It is good to see that you hand lap the flywheel on, when done right, you don't even need a keyway, set it with a degree wheel, Torque it down, and you are good to go. keep the vids coming

Great video. All in the name of R&D Research and Development. Sometimes you have a break thru, sometimes it stays the same.It’s all good. Thanks for sharing with us. Ride fast. Ride safe..

Another good video bro

Those Tillotson cast aluminum flywheels are a great bang for your buck for the quality. Plus someone has spun one up to 10k for a long time privately. The downside is they come with only 18 degrees of advance. Granted even though most cams call for 32 34 a 12* keyway will get you to 30.

Insane I love it

Good video, that cast flywheel seems to be a much better fit for that Predator 224. :)

Still very impressive numbers. and now the safety is there. I run the same flywheel on one of my predators.Once again thanks for all the info

Very good test , Black66

Hey man, love your videos so much quick question I’m trying to carburet my carburetor basically the same one on your engine and the same engine but I can’t seem to carburet it

hey black thank you for you're videos they help me a lot with trying to fine tune I was wondering if you knew if that flywheel would fit on a 212 predator

Favorite style. I want to build one of these

I just want to say that I absolutely enjoy your channel and your builds and camera work and comparing engine builds and upgrades. I watched your last episodes about the ghost engine and the valve springs and fly wheel. My question is would you use 18lb spring or 22lbs without doing internal upgrades inside the engines cause I’m still learning that. Cause doing mods outside the engine I can do .

Craving more 224 how to videos!!!

Do you think moving the coil outwards with shims to center it over the magnet would help?

That sure is a nicely modified 224. It seems like upgrading the stock flywheels on most of the predators and other clones is a must do for anyone who is going to be removing the governor and plans on running at RPM's. Do you run tachometers on your engines? Your videos are great and really show the viewer what works but I haven't seen any significant problems in any of them yet. Have you experienced any major malfunctions with any of your engines....flywheel throwing magnets, spun bearings, catastrophic engine failures? I would be really interested to hear about those and I think it could be very useful and entertaining for your subscribers. Maybe you could start uploading a compilation video of "mod's gone wrong", defective products, and bloopers once or twice a year, or however long it takes to document enough mishaps to create a video. I think they would get a lot of views and increase the number of subscribers you have. Just a thought...

I bought the same flywheel and gapped it at .03. For some reason my bike wont stay running longer than a few seconds. It starts and runs fine then just dies shortly after. Im wondering if my charging magnets inside (which i dont need because im not running a light) is causing this issue

Mines on the way. Is it cool if I just put the flywheel on with out the lapping stuff. I forgot to order it in time and really really wanna just put it on when it gets here

Hey I watch all your videos. I have a new header pipe I put on it backfires real bad when I let off the throttle. Will you make a video on how to fix backfire on mini bike?

Curios if you take a few fins off of it ?

Great video! I would like to get a flywheel ring gear with magnets charging coil for the Coleman BT200X but cannot find one for the Predator 224cc engine. I have not found a cast aluminum flywheel with charging coils, any information on this if a predator 212e flywheel will fit?

The 2 flywheels may have different timing. My stock clone flywheels and PVL flywheel are timed to 28 BTDC. The genuine GX200 cast aluminum flywheel I had was timed at 22 BTDC. The flywheel you have there looks like a copy of the GX200 aluminum. Is it timed the same? Put an ARC flywheel on there and get the timing the same as the 212e flywheel then test it.

I like your minibike stand, I'm an old. Master mechanic loves all machines minibike or hit and miss engines

Definitely doing this on my 224. So much cheaper than an ARC!

Could you maybe do an in depth video on hydraulic brake installation? I cany quite get mine right and no videos i watch seem to offer much help

Will this flywheel fit a predator 212 non hemi?...new to all this...

Also that cast aluminum flywheels probably the cheaper alternative for people who don't wanna spend the money on the ARC but need the Safety of it

I installed the billet but didnt hold the crank down now ots hard to turn and when i put everything back on and pull the start it pulls the back tire and my crank

I’ve got a Coleman BT200U and I can’t keep the chain on it any suggestions

Believe it or not I was looking on Amazon for similar flywheels to this and they used a photo from your video to show its use 😂

What starter cup should I use for a billet flywheel with 2 holes

It even sounded stronger with the previous flywheel. I wonder what the 0-60 difference was. Too bad that app doesn't have RPM.

can somone help me i removed the governer and a added a flywheel and a carburetor and my mini bike compression is higher than before is that normal and is it safe to ride

224 definitely the best sounding predator engine

hay bud im putting a honda gx 160 im looking for a good connecting rod and a aluminum flywheel any suggestions where to buy thanks

Watched this one hoping you’d mention torque spec on the flywheel. Can only find 54 ft lbs for the steel, and 65 ft lbs for the billet, but nothing on these..

What about a gap for a 196cc Coleman ct200U ex coil cap ?

anyone know the torqe spec for a pvl flywheel with a steel center hub ??

Can you make a video how you make the crankshaft holding tool

Where did you get the tillotson 212 ee flywheel? I have been looking for one of these for my 196cc coleman. I was told they handle more rpm than the stock coleman and can still retain the lights

Can you retain the charging system with that flywheel?

With those results I'm glad you did the test. 0+0=0

what clutch was used in this vid

Does anyone know how much it needs to be torqued down

Hey I wish all is goes well for this new year and question I just did the same upgrade to a 212 but I put the same key back in and it’s not turning over and having major kick back… what did I do wrong and what should I do

Would a stock cam work with that flywheel

Hey man cut about 3 coils out of your clutch spring (max torque style clutches) and raise your stall speed ; ) youll be glad u did. note: u may have to grind away about 1/16" off the side edges of your clutch shoes (where they contact each other, not the bell) ... this shrinks the circle down a little so u can fight the spring back in lol .. also has the effect of raising stall speed too, this is 1 reason u wont cut many loops from the spring. Your engine will rev and your clutch will bite like a mean dog! lol

My shakes bad could it be cause it's not torqued down?

Why do you need to gap the coil

Can you street ride with this fly wheel

Does it make your bike shake on acceleration

yea i gotta get that drill cuz i cant get my pvl flywheel off

question i see on omb that new rocker arms are about 200 bucks is it worth it and are there any cheaper options?

I have an important question: Would you still be able to run the coils for a headlight output with this flywheel?

Great videos. I have a rt200 its bn hard to decide what to put on the bike. What do you think about viking 223cc hemi head 7 hp electric start engine.? Or what would you recommend me. Thanks again for the videos.

Hi, where can i contact you about the product sponsorship?

Thanks for this I was looking for a cheaper alternative for my 224.

Well you are the guy with all the money 💰💰💰💰

The flywheel has a timing of 18 degrees, they recommend a 12 degree timing key.

I need some help .. will a 224 block accept a metal 212 cam from a non hemi? Trying to get rid of the plastic gear

Hey, I have a 224 Predator, 26 lbs springs, billet rod and flywheel. Wha jets should I use in my carb

Timing could be a bit different between the 2 flywheels. Could be messing with your time trials.

Mantap bang jooooossss

And what do you think about a .265 fire cam from go power sports with 26lb springs and a .010 head gasket? I'm putting it in my off road go kart.

where did you get that crank holding tool?

Cool vid how much lbs do u torque the flywheel to

Where do you get the crank holder tool? Thanks

Let me suggest you get a cvt 30 clutch. The vevor brand comes with the good belt.

Wassup, I order a banzai 265 camm and 26 lb springs, billet rod and the flywheel you have on your 224 for my 224 and I am building it rn!

Whats the crank hold tool and where can I get one?

That small of a difference could be explained by temp/air density changes while you were making the swap. It would be interesting to see you retest with more timing advance.

What is the coil gap?

I'm sure your sick of these questions but I was wondering if I have a ten tooth clutch what rear sprocket count do you recommend for top end Speed @black66

I bought this same wheel and it doesnt fit on my predator 212 it just gets stuck halfway?

Would the cast aluminum 212 flywheel fit on a 212 ghost

What’s the purpose of lapping the flywheel? I know you lap valves but that’s so they seat correctly.

How much foot pounds did you torque it too?

I have a stock 196cc Coleman bike with a header exhaust from go power sports I was wondering if I upgraded the carb to the vm22 will it make a difference or slow it down

Can you retain your charging system with this flywheel? I need the lights for a motorized bike build

What app you use for to know the mph

Could I use this on a 212 non hemi thanks in advance

does it hav e magnets for charging coils

How much did you torque the flywheel to ?

Where can I find that crankshaft locking tool?

Where did you buy the crank holding tool ?

Can you use that flywheel on the 196cc engine?

Is there room for a charging system with this flywheel?

Can that flywheel work on a predator 212 HEMI?

I just bought this same flywheel and it says it comes with the rare earth magnet. HIGH PERFORMANCE Combine with high-strength multi-area rare earth magnets to produce stronger,longer lasting spark.

I would have to check the timing on the flywheels themselves I bet my last dollar they differ .

Hey i added an aluminum flywheel like the one youre using here & the key that came with is too big for my 196cc so i used my stock key. Do u see any issue with this? Really looking fwd to what u think thanx!

Is this flywheel safe? For high speed runs ?

Will it fit on the 212 ghost

When you torqued the flywheel down, what lb did you use?

What do you do with all of those mini bikes?

Use a light and check the timing🤔 or recheck with a stock key
