Predator 22 hp

[Toys4Me]

Jets are still stock. We had to rejet the single cylinder engines. It actually puffs some when you first hit it so the low is rich. Haven't checked the plugs yet. Was more or a rough tune day. Lake St. Clair by the house. We will probably head to Anchor Bay this weekend.

I just bought one to repower my Trackster.

[john swenson]

joe , let us know how you do with the predator. if you need to replace jets , etc. or how it does just stock. thinking about one also for my max 2. thanks john boy va.

[Joe M]

Will do, John. The Honda GX 660 TDW Is what's being used for the Trackster Conversion, by most. I've read Pro, and con on Predator engines, but at half the price, I figure I'd give it a try.

The 22HP engines went on sale today at HF they are 549.99 with the coupon that came email. Has anyone tried these for any length of time now? I want to upgrade my 18hp but I want something reliable.

He plans on putting a hurtin on it at ashtabula. This time it has all new bearings, axles and chains. All the old stuff is gone.

I couldn't resist and just ordered one for my Hustler. We will have to see how it goes.

I am going to chime in on this even though I do not have one of these engines like everything made in china it will be junk don't waste your money on one instead look on craiglist in your area for a cub cadet with a horizontal shaft motor in it they used briggs and kohlers in them 16,18,20,21,22,23 hp and you can pick them up cheap pull the motor and sell the chassis on craigslist that way you will have a good motor it might have 4-500 hours on it but will still out last the junk chinese motors and it will cost you less I see them advertised all the time in the 200-500 range

So how did it do at Ash? Karens home built Bando Engine needs new rings already, and I'm debating on either replacing the rings or going to Al Hodge, or another big briggs or kohler motor! This is a killer deal, if it stands up to a good beating. I need something that is "Fred-Proof",,, so it has to be able to take a good one, cause I'm hella rough on my machines. Although, having a 30-40+hp Briggs built by a very creditable builder is nice and warranteed of some sort,,, the Predator price tag for an engine that is just as capable for our machines, if not more, is very, very tempting.
