    That is sharp! I plan to build one myself. I like the fat tire on the front.

    West Coast Chopper Build

    Look up common hop ups for the flathead Briggs 5hp engines. Index the spark plug. You can mill the head at home and run a straight pipe for the exhaust but you may have to adjust the richness of the fuel mixture on the carb. Any changes in the exhaust may make the engine run lean. The gear...

    Vintage Kart Project

    You should enjoy the Hemi head Predator. I used a Bsp-2 cam in mine with free flowing intake/exhaust mods and Autolight 3910x plug. It woke the Predator up.

    project kart - want to upgrade engine and add brakes / pedal assemblies

    Max-torque or Hilliard are two good clutches for yard carts. Look at a torque convertor (TAV) as well.

    Predator and XR2500 head swap?

    What have y'all agreed on as "Stock"? Stock appearing? Stock externals? If stock appearing is the rule the cut open the botitle neck of a muffler and gut it out. Those things can't flow well.

    V-Twin Predator Harbor Freight is holding out on us

    I saw the V twin Predator on a huge generator at Harbor Freight today. I didn't find the engine itself just the generator. The clerks didn't know if it was available by itself.

    Need Recommendations for Predator

    Air in and Air out. Change that exhaust system, air box and fatten up the jet. The "hot dog" style mufflers breath better than the stock one. Build or buy a header. An Autolight racing plug is good for a small boost in compression. Compression can equal Power. I pull the stock plug after the...

    my engine wont rev!

    What throttle set up does it have? Is it like the Grayhounds and Predators? Post a picture of that. Maybe it needs to be adjusted at the throttle stop?

    is this sweet or what/predator 99 ok?

    There is a reason it had a 9hp. At minimum a Predator 6.5 with Air filter and Muffler mods.

    engine selection

    I have used the old and the Hemi styles. Both are good. I plan to pick up another Hemi Predator. It seems stronger than the standard Predator in stock form.

    chinese diesel engine for $99

    You are going to have some trouble finding a clutch that will engage at that low RPM. You would have to mount the clutch on a jackshaft spinning faster than the engine. Look at this one it's a higher horse power engine but weighs in around 90lbs...

    engine selection

    Honda Clones (Predator Engines) best money spent (IMO). I have my Briggs sitting on a shelf and have outfitted my fleet of 5 mini bikes and 3 Gokarts with clones.

    predator 212 not starting, plus a strange carb mod

    I'll make it easy, Just take off the engine and mail it to me. Do you have a stock Predator Carb & Air box? If so I would start by swaping those out with what is on the motor just to get it to stay running.

    power horse reveiws?

    I have a few of the greyhound "Cheap Clones"and have gotten excellent use from them. If I weren't so cheap I'd take offense to that.

    Predator 212 Budget High Performance Build

    You may want to brace the header any hard riding and it may come apart.

    Fat tire mini bike

    Interesting where you put the jackshaft. Why did you mount it there and not lower in the frame?
