    Lifan vs. Predator

    I was looking at the HF Predator 13hp engine and I found that Home Depot had the Lifan for a cheaper price and what seems like a better warranty. The Lifan not only has the manual and electric start, but also the 3 amp charging system, whereas the Predator doesn't. Anyone try one of the 13...

    Whiny noise from Lifan 168f

    My honda clone is making a quite loud whining/squeling noise whenever I put any load on it, but disappears at certain points during throttle input. The engine is used to power a homebuilt mini-bike with 22"x10" ATV wheels, the power is transferred through a 2:1 reduction wet clutch -> 11 ->...

    Replaced Baja MB165 engine with a lifan 6.5 electric start.... Need Performance parts

    And I found out its a really tight fit. I had to take the muffler protector off, and air filter cover off. The gas tank cap/knob is centered, so you can't use it with the tank on. I will take the one off the original baja motor and use that if it fits the lifan. The metal tanks hang a lot...

    Home Depot Lifan

    Hello: Just registered today. Working on 2 Baja Warriors that I bought disassembled in boxes. I ordered a Lifan electric start (LF168F-2BDQ) 5.6 from the Home Depot. So far so good. Started up and I changed the exhaust and air cleaner. Jackshaft set up and likage were easy as well...

    12v for Oil Pump on Turbo Lifan Project

    Trying to finish up my turbo Lifan project. Does anyone have any tips on getting 12v from the stock flywheel to power the oil pump? I read I need a genuine GX160 Honda flywheel to accomplish this. Is this true? Any tips would be great!
