This guide details the zip tie method for bypassing the governor on Coleman BT200X and CT200U minibikes, as demonstrated by Buckeye Ballistics. The process involves removing the gas tank and exhaust to access the governor spring, then cinching a zip tie around it to restrict its expansion. This modification allows the engine to reach higher RPMs, increasing top speed from approximately 24 mph to 30 mph. The instructor emphasizes that while this method is effective, it significantly increases the risk of engine damage (crank, rod, flywheel) and recommends internal upgrades for long-term reliability.
This video provides a step-by-step guide on how to remove the throttle stop screw on Coleman mini bikes (BT200X, CT200U) and similar engines like the Predator 212. The modification aims to increase top speed by allowing the throttle to reach its full open position. The instructor demonstrates the process, including dealing with tack welds and reassembling the carburetor, while also discussing expected performance gains and potential pitfalls.
