    Predator 212 Hard Spot in pull

    I was having the same problem and it was the valve lash setting. I reset it to .003 on the compression stroke and it resolved the issue. I know you said you set yours to that but I also assume that you know for sure that the dots on the cam and crank are lined up?

    Replacement for Tecumseh powersport 6HP

    Always nice when the wife is on your side of the fence. I also used to be into nitro. I had a T-Maxx 3.3 . I don't have my truck anymore but I have a bunch of stuff left over. New and used. New thermometer, Chevron tires, new Ford F-350 body, etc. If interested, PM me and we can negotiate a price.

    Replacement for Tecumseh powersport 6HP

    $209 plus shipping?? Seems steep to me vs. A Predator for $100 after coupon. Predators are a great engine for the money.

    You could probably go to your local hardware store and just buy some 1/4" round stock and cut, bend, drill where you need to.
