Wild Cat 223cc Has IT Guys!!! 

It was fun until you had to stop. If I had today's experience with that same kart, I could do much better.

I have to look into that on the weights for the super 30 series. Yes, if the motor can't bang 5k+ on the drop of the throttle you won't get anywhere quickly or maximize the use of the motor with a stock juggernaut.

NH....😒 otherwise I'd be at a butt ton of events.

I start with a 35-37. No governor maybe a 38 at the most before these carbs get sloppy.

I just ran it how it was but yes it does indeed need a couple. I usually run at least 2 just to cut down on the "ping". Only comforting thing about the ping on this thing is that when coming off the throttle on a straightaway you still know the driver is attached to the motor. Lol, its a little on the loud side. Perhaps I'll look more into that stock high flow muffler the Wild Cat 223 came with.....🤔 then again, I plan on getting inside this motor to build it for that Trailmaster. This was more so to give it a fair comparison to a Predator 212 Hemi. The 223 is the same bore but comes with a stroked crank from the factory. If you add a longer rod and a different piston you get a lot of useable torque even on the stock cam with 18 pound springs. Builders are shaving the head something in the vicinity of .06in with hopes of compression pushing 8k+ .....but with that longer stroke.... I'm hoping I can get some real power without going into all that but we'll see.

Would you choose predator or wildcat when building a Mini bike?

I have two 212Rs. It's a hard comparison. The 212R is based more on compression and rpm where the Wildcat is stroke and flow. Are you planning on building it or leaving it stock? Stock the 212R takes it. Add a rod, flywheel and 660 carb....that Wildcat is a freight train!!

The 212R is capable of 12hp. Not stock. I'd say my 212R with a billet rod, governor removed, 22s and 660 carb is 12hp. "The cam is good for producing up to 12hp" would be a more accurate statement.

@@fatbuddycat the Wildcat has better low end torque than the tilitson 212R? I'm looking for off road torque not speed.

@@fatbuddycat for a bt200 mini bike with torque converter an 60t sprocket

@@jacobsebastien3910 the Wildcat has more torque across the boards.

Woah cool! Thanks so much. I'm always up to something. I have another idea for a mini bike, the Trailmaster isn't finished, engines to build, A LOT of maintenance, little weldy weld, pinch of fabs, test piloting and lots of the great outdoors to come!! Plus I do dumb stuff that other people don't and sometimes it works out. Sometimes it's just dumb. I'm good at it though. Years of practice....🤗

@@fatbuddycat lol, I feel ya man

Wait till I get you guys up to speed, this will run a Predator 212 hemi down all around when used properly or modified. FBC Approved!

I think that's the problem I'm having on my 196 mm80! I'm running 10/54 with the Juggernaut and it revs out way before its done accelerating. Superb engine response and control but it gets tight up top.

Yes sir!! This thing has more go than a 212 for sure. I can't wait to whip it around the field, way too much snow today though!

I would take one of these over a Predator 212, more torque at a lower rpm and overall power. Throw a $10 coil, ARC flywheel, intake, jetted carb and header on it and that's what is in this video! A Predator with the same "stock" mods would get smooshed.

@@fatbuddycat You have a video of the flywheel install?

Heck yeah! First thing I did to the Wildcat was an ARC flywheel and a clone coil. I've loved it ever since.

It was a cool kart but they are very loose. I'd compare it to a radio flyer with more sex appeal.

@@fatbuddycat I’ve wrecked one of those when I was a kid driving one down a big hill I got scraped up pretty bad with my cousin 😂 We thought it was pretty cool until it wasn’t… that was the end of that
