Throttle hookup on HF Predator engines (all HP ratings)

[landuse]

Hi all. We have several threads regarding throttle hook-ups for the old HF blue clones, but not much for the new HF Predator Engines (whatever the HP rating). I have noticed in the last little while that people have been asking how to do this.

I would like everyone to post explanations and pictures of how they setup their Predator throttles. This thread will then get its link posted in the Helpful Links Sticky.

Could everyone who has one of these engine please contribute so that we can help out other people

Thanks

Hooking up a throttle should always be done by a professional due to the danger involved with this action. Many people underestimate the power of the combustion engine and this can get scary fast, especially when this is a vehicle their children will be driving.

That being said...

Its the same as any clone except in regards that the Predator comes with wire swivel and conduit clamp. That makes it similar to hooking up a real HONDA GX series engine, you simply need to add the additional return spring and remove any thrust washers if they used them that series.
