New Predator 8 HP 301cc

[jdogg]

Anybody pick one of these horizontal shaft engines up yet! Thoughts on it? Could be an interesting powerplant!

I tried to put in the lot# 61563 at Harbor Freight.com but it doesnt bring up anything :shrug:

These are picts from my add I got the other day

8hp sounds like a good, snotty number for a mini.

Geared right, it should move out pretty well. :thumbsup:

I would assume its a big block design? I am curious now.

 

[rmm727]

Yeah, same here. Looks small blockish with a big block valve cover/head?

This might be a clue

I've been wanting this engine for a while but I guess they fell though.

I've been watching my 2 local hf stores. None yet

More like a gx270 dont you think?

 

[minidragbike]

I need for it to be small, but still 300cc.

Charles- I'm working on a GX270 big bore that's 313cc with long rod and short piston combo. 40mm intake and 33mm exhaust. Maybe go bigger on the head later. Might be able to squeeze 1.650" intake and 1.4" exhaust. Haven't gone that far yet.

Yeah with a big block you can go really big, but I want to stick with a small block.

has anyone seen this motor at their local harbor freight yet, ive yet to actually see it.

 

[mbdutch]

I've seen them here in NorCal

*8hp could be a little low ball

This might be a clue

G300F(D)A - Loncin lndustries

Compare to the 212, a 10mm bigger bore and a 15mm longer stroke, hemi head?
bigger valves Probably. a little heavier though, should be torquey.

to bad it dosnt come in a 212 package, still i want one for my DB. i'd grind my own cam for it.

1" shaft?
none here in Mass yet.
I'll let you know when I see one

also, ive compared the 6.5 or 7 hp version of them ( http://www.loncinengine.com/Product116/Detailed259/#Text )
to the regular g200 clone ( http://www.loncinengine.com/Product33/Detailed52/#Text )

and noticed the old style has a little more stock compression 8.5:1 vs 8.3:1, and the fuel tanks on the old style are a little larger.

The 8hp version is called a "low carbon" engine. The older style is not. is there a performance difference? I guess we'll see.

What about those 8-9hp lifan engines from the Home Depot they run around that price and some come with electric start, if that matters, there clones of the gx270 and gx290

 

[mikeholt25]

ill buy it once they start making performance parts for it but for now ill stick with my 212cc I got over 600 in my motor next project is a gx390 im saving up for it right now plan on selling my 212cc one bad motor tho all stainless an billet its strong and has a wiesco piston it isn't going to let me down anytime soon the gx390 carbs on these 212cc are killer in the torque an top end I swear that gx carb on my predator pulls me back in my seat it really amazed me how good it does with the long intake

I put a GX390 on my 212. I had it laying around. When I switched heads to a 14cc head, the intake port was for a 340/390 so I had to fit the 390 to mine. Let me tell you about the unexpected wheelie. Funny the ways you learn respect
