Toast. For some reason once the springs start popping out like that, they keep doing it. It gets old real fast when you have to keep taking them apart & fixing them.
Better get a back up pull start! I have broken countless numbers of them. 2 of them broke after 2-3 days of use. I even got a metal one instead of the plastic & the **** thing broke. Cheap Chinese crap...
You can get 2 stroke 49cc Chinese engines for next to nothing & there are aftermarket parts all over eBay for them. As stated above, that 2hp motor you have is above 50cc. I think that you're more than double the cc you're able to run, so you're going to have to get a new one to comply with the law.
So you did the 212cc engine swap on the Motovox? I've read that 2 of the bolt holes line up on the 212cc engine & 2 you have to drill the frame to get it to bolt up. Does the CC on the stock engine fit the Predator 212cc? I would like to have everything I need to do the swap when I do it...
Just joined up so I figured I would say HI! Im from just outside of the Philly area, hopefully there are other members from the area.
I also recently picked up this Motovox for a steal at $20. It needs a new chain the one on it is stretched, forks were bent but I bent them back & reinforced...
