Maybe it is my computer but I found this site difficult. Especially when scrolling down the page everything jumps around and the items pop up if your curser scrolls over them. each page loads very slowly.
Check it out guys. let me know if it is just my computer not liking the new format or if this site is weird.

Maybe it is your computer......it was pretty awesome on my $149. LG Volt phone.....

Oh yeah... I think I read that the new site was supposed to be smart more phone friendly.
But man on a computer with a 18" monitor it drove me nuts.

On your predator i see in the description there is not billet rod added but yet you took the governor out .There is no say that the buyer might be buying a time bomb when doing so .

You do not need a billet rod if you take the governor out. You only need one if you change the stock springs to some that are stiffer. Valve float will prevent the engine over revving with the stock valves

Edit: The site looks good to me!

Not that i know of...

 

[J_Walker]

interesting. site looks good. but for the 212 I dunno about an extra two hundred dollars for some re-jetting, a piece bent pipe. and a fancy lookin' air filter. oh and a governor removal. that takes an all of like 15 minutes if you've done it before.

Its a good price I suppose if you don't wanna do anything and just want a plug n' play.

Says valves can become hot and crack im guessing hot means torched .

The key word there is "CAN", if the valves float for extended periods & only an inexperienced moron would do that...

Logic would say that, if the valves start to bounce, you would back off the throttle because keeping it flat is not getting you any faster...

And running at valve float causes you to eventually break a keeper,dropping the valve. Causing the piston to come to a quick stop, along with the connecting rod. But the crank is gonna want to keep going a little bit, and that is when the poop hits the fan..... So yeah, only a moron would run his engine like that.....

Great website!

We are looking into removing the popup product display since it is causing some to have trouble navigating the category page.

Also the speed issue is most likely due to your browser. Have you tried different browsers?

Thanks for the feedback. We are trying to take the site to the next level and need everyone's input.

I like it but the pop up picture thingy kind of drives me nuts!

I like the look of the new site. I'm not a fan of the pop up windows either... and compare to some other sites, I think the product descriptions could be better. I do like the "how to video" selection... I think http://www.affordablegokarts.com/ does a great job of showing customers how to do engine upgrades with the products they sell. I think your how to section can do the same.

I saw this thread on Tuesday. Clicked on your site and saw the exhaust pipe on the Pedator engine ad. It was bend pretty much just like how I was planning to build my own! Figured why waste my time, and placed an order. Placed order on April 28th at 9:30am, had a shipping confirmation email at 10:20am, and product at my doorstep (TX to IN) on the 30th! Great service!

Just thought I'd throw that in since there is another thread now with a complaint about customer service with a different vendor...

Also, the picture of the exhaust pipe in it's ad is at a different angle. I could tell it was the same, however a second picture showing how the pipe fits on the engine would relieve any doubt from the customers mind and help promote that product.

Thanks again!

Great service!

Spoke to soon... Should of known.... exhaust pipe doesn't fit! Holes on flange not correct width...

Ahhh, but that the manufacturers screw up..... (I'm hoping).....

This is the second time we have heard this. Looking for some help here, the Predator engines we have in stock call for a 1.75" center to center spacing, same as header pipes we have in stock. What does yours measure? Has anyone seen any variations to this on
Predator or any other clone engines? We may look at elongating the holes to accommodate more than one spacing requirement if need be.

Spoke to soon... Should of known.... exhaust pipe doesn't fit! Holes on flange not correct width...

Looked at it last night and got the pipe to fit. Had to elongate each hole outward about a 1/16" with a round file.

The pipe is 1.75" center to center, eyeball center to center my caliper read 1.84". Engine is a non-hemi pedator... don't know if the hemi head engines are different...
