Got these bikes for free.
Installed the VM 22 on both - promptly blew the engine apart one one - replaced it with the 212 predator. Sheared the jack shaft key off 60 seconds after the maiden voyage. Been dickin around with these things for 3 months now and almost have em both running 50 mph…
Look out neighborhood
I think the key sheared off. Trying to tighten the castle nut on the jack shaft and it just spins independently and I can’t get leverage to tighten the nut. Also there is no key? Did it just shear off? Has anyone had this issue?
Installed brand new Predator 212cc motor on this Coleman CT200U. Swapped out the carb with a VM22 Carb.
Had to jury rig a spacer behind the new clutch to get the sprockets to line up. Used the existing spacer from the old engine. Cut the spacer and then used needle nose pliers to spread out to fit the drive shaft. We live very far from a hardware store.
Removed the clutch. Noticed the spacer was wedged against the drive shaft. Removed the spacer and clutch and tried to restart it. It wont start like at all. It’s a brand new motor.
Am I f’d? Listen for it at the end…
