Hi, it's been a while since I browsed the forum. A few years back I bought a DB30 (new style) with the intention of upgrading the motor. Never got around to it until now and I think I missed something along the way.
I have a non-hemi 212cc Predator and I purchased a PMR stage 2 kit from HotRodMiniBike.com. Bottom line is that the engine does not fit. The cap on the rear with the letters OHV hits the bar before the fender and if I move it forward the front of the engine sits on the bar the the mounting plate is welded to. This lifts the engine off the PMR plate. On top of everything the gas tank just about touches the top of the frame so it's not like I can add another plate to raise the engine.
I don't get it. I see so many examples of what I'm trying to do and when I ordered the kit I specifically stated that it was for a non-hemi engine and new style Doodlebug.
What should I do? I'm no mechanic but I'm good at following directions
