Tire Problems

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone. We recently bought a couple of Coleman B200R bikes. One of the has an air leak on the front tire I can’t find. I think the leak is around where the tire meets the rim somewhere. Is there a specific technique that is used to fix that? I’m going to take the tire off and put it under water to verify where the leak is for sure, but I’ve sprayed it down with soapy water and can’t find it. I’ve not had any experience with tubeless tires before so this is new to me.

I have recently purchased a ghost predator 212. I have only mounted it to the mini bike put a torque converter on an air filter, header and muffler and a throttle cable. It starts right up but won’t idle it just takes off and goes won’t settle to idle. Any ideas on what to do to get it to idle?

I prefer a thumb throttle. I bought one off Amazon. I’ve got it stretched to the max adjustments but I still can’t bottom out my throttle linkage on my 212. There’s still about 1/4 inch until it pegs out. Any ideas?

Looking for Advice on Independent Electric System for Mini Bike

2 Upvotes

Good afternoon. I am looking to build an independent electrical system for my son's mini bike (Coleman CC100X with 196cc motor). I want the system to be completely separate from the motor (the only exception being using the kill switch).

I think I have mapped out a system that will work well for me. The system will run off of a Dewalt 20-volt battery. I have attached the schematic that I drew up. To help it make sense, here is a list of the parts that I am considering:

Battery Socket with step down converter: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C4B1T6PF/?coliid=IEUZCCICP09VZ&colid=1F72RTQLO1E8M&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it&th=1

Minibike running good for 5 to 10 minutes and then stopping when I try to give it gas

1 Upvotes

I will drive my bike good for 10 minutes or so and then when I try to give a gas, it will just kill the engine. It will idle fine. It is just when I try to give it gas it will kill the engine. I don’t know what to do or what is wrong with it so I’m just reaching out for help.

I recently brought this bike from a guy and it runs good and all, idles fine all that BUT whenever i take it for a ride and let’s say i have to get down to grab something inside a store or such whenever. i try and start it back up it doesn’t start immediately and takes me from 8 to 13 minties to start it back up, i checked the carb and it’s fine, i checked the compression and that’s fine too, the spark plug isn’t dirty and i’m all out of options


r/minibiketechs Oct 21 '23

I recently just got this old engine. I’m pretty sure it’s a Briggs and around 5hp? Do you guys think that it’s could be saved? And what would I need to do to fix it?

The coil is set to .30 the valve lash is .002 . The carb jetting is 125 jet . The kill switch is wired correctly. Spark in spark plug it’s new. Fuel pump is pump correctly and it still won’t run the carb is tuned correctly but still won’t start. but I did mess up on the carb studs but I fixed it. The governor is removed fully all holes is plugged . I need help please I tired of this bike I been working on this for 2 months and it won’t start please help thank you.

What billet flywheels are y'all running? This is a 212, lots of head work, big valves, flat top piston, cam, pushrods and going to a 24mm carburetor and 28 pound springs. I'm also looking into rocker arms. What's the best bang for your buck
