Found a free mini bike in the trash. Not vintage, but cool for being free. The people were moving and had a big big pile full of stuff and this was there. Loaded this up quick! It had a mitsubishi 6.0hp engine.. and yes, i said "had". Wouldnt start, checked air filter and the filter was missing along with dirt chunks leading to the engine.. then no compression. So the engine is shot. But i do want to save this bike as it is nicer than my 70's cheeftah... I want to buy a new engine for it, but i want to be able to know it will fit before i buy a clutch and new chain. I was looking at the Predator engines, i have one on my cheeftah and its a workhorse for a 90cc.. I looked at the 212cc models, and they are on sale at my harbor freight, would it fit? From what i understand, the predator engines are a honda clone, and the mitsubishi engine resembled a briggs vanguard engine...:shrug:
Any help would be appreciated
