New HF Predator Engine/Manco Dingo owners

[giff]

Any idea if the new Predator engines gas tank configuration will fit on a Manco Dingo without modifying the Kart or removing the gas tank from the engine. It appears from the pictures that it may not protrude out the front of the engine as far and will not hit the back of the seat. Current HF (Greyhound) engines need to have the tank removed or the cart modded to fit correctly. Anyone know for sure?

I'm pretty sure those H/F 212cc Predator engines are manufactured by Loncin and are a slightly more modern version based off the LC170F model.

The air cleaner, gas tank and recoil are shaped a little different on the H/F model, but if its any help you'll find some measured LC170f drawings at this link: http://www.lanticmotor.com/download/Loncin GPE Products Catalogue 2009.pdf

Harbor Freight really should include some measured drawings on their sites ads so they dont loose potential customers like you. You could probably email/call them and get the overall height and width measurements if you explained your situation...

The newer style 208cc Maxx 208, Ironhorse or Powerhorse engines sold at Northern tool are made by a different manufacturer, but you'll find measured drawings to those here at this site: http://www.lctusa.com/
