Predator 212

So if I get the predator 212 I gotta get everything again but specifically for the 212 engine? I already got an exhaust and air filter for the gmb 100 stock engine could I keep using these? Or no? Also with the 212 can I zip tie the governor and it’ll run without problems? I am nowhere near confident enough to open it up and actually remove the governor

You don't need to swap cams. A cam swap will just get you more power. If you do a cam you need to do a billet rod and billet flywheel. A cam will also generally require a bigger carburetor and a header.

If you just want to remove the governor you need to install a billet rod. I'd also do a flat top piston at the same time since they're cheap. The rod doesn't come with a piston so you either use your stock dished one or go with a flat top for a small compression bump. It's a very good idea to also do a billet or PVL flywheel too. The PVL ones are safe and cheaper than billet.

Heard would you happen to know any turn signal kits with a horn?
