new 99cc predator with a true 5/8" shaft
Hey gang...I bought another one...99 Predator that is,and was looking at AGKs site They have a teardown of the 99 to remove the Gov. so first thing I did was strip this puppy down to its carcase...Removed the carb and the plastic spacer from the head,and can't belive My eyes...The size of the port is almost.720 and the carb and spacer only has a .540 hole!Thats a BIG diff!...I was thinking about a swap to a carb from a 6.5 blue clone on a hand whittled spacer...I punched out the Gov. pivot pin,tapped the hole 1/4 20 and locktighted a 3/8 long button head cap bolt in there...pulled the crank sprayed it with brake clean and using the Mic. on the shaft....Heres the lucky part...Its .625!....Maybe the first batch to hit the stores were the bastard size,.630 or 16 mm !...Now a stock M/T clutch will fit with no futzzin around!...Picked up a new bike too,a Schwinn Riverside 7 speeder,great brakes, nice rims, good spring style seat and a rack on the back!...Its a little more money than the Legacy but has all of the upgrades already....Can't wait to stitch the Predator into this,wondering about running it like a shifter bike with the 7 speeds....
