2023年7月27日 · When your Predator engine refuses to start or experiences intermittent issues, the root cause often lies within the fuel or ignition systems. Here’s a detailed guide to diagnosing and resolving these common problems, ensuring your engine runs smoothly and reliably.

2019年6月16日 · Brand New Predator 212 won't start. *The governor and oil sensor are removed. *Compression tests (done cold) yield 60psi. *I adjusted the valve leash to spec 8/1000 exhaust 6/1000 intake. *The valve cover does not have a gasket on it, but I don't see how that would prevent it from starting.

2023年9月26日 · If your Predator 212cc engine won’t start, the problem might be the spark plug, carburetor, fuel delivery system, or compression. Inspect the Spark Plug: A faulty spark plug may prevent the engine from starting.

2020年12月24日 · It started up and idled just fine (was idling a bit fast but I corrected it) but then after about 15 seconds of hard running it COMPLETELY cuts out and dies. No warning, no sputtering, but also no nasty metal-on-metal sounds that would indicate some sort of internal failure. No white smoke or any signs of a blown head gasket either.

2020年12月24日 · I'm honestly going to try either running the engine entirely off of starting fluid (removing the carb) or using the carb only and messing with the pilot jet. Really doubt it was water in the gas since it started up perfectly and I let it sit for a few hours inside before trying again.

2021年11月4日 · Predator 212 won't start no matter what I do. Turn off gas so carb does not get fuel. You can drain float bowl on mikuni with the screw on the bottom of the float bowl. Open throttle and give a two second spray of starter fuel into carb. Pull the starter and see if it shows any signs of life.

2020年6月17日 · New spark plug, new clean fuel, cleaned the carb, float not stuck... choke on, fuel on, pull it and she fires up but then stalls out. Try to pull her…

2023年12月1日 · Try pulling the spark plug. If it is rich the electrode will be wet, black. If lean it will be dry, light tan, white. That's the best way to find out what's actually happening inside. Running on starter fluid only sounds like it isn't getting fuel in there.

2019年6月16日 · If you getting it to start off starter fluid than probably no fuel is making it through the jet or you have no vacuum in the carb pulling fuel.
