Thought I would try a 4 stroke build, wondering what bikes the 212 predator that HF has on sale would work. what trans would work? also any other tips would be appreciated.
I've had a china girl and technically that is higher than the 50cc requirement for CT, but I never got stopped since it is a small looking motor. There isn't much size difference in the 49cc 4 stroke to the 99cc Predator so I'm planning on just putting a 49cc sticker right over the top of the one that comes on the predator. Yes, I'm skirting the law a little, but not enough that it will hurt anything. I don't think I could get away with a 49cc sticker over the top of the 212cc sticker on the larger Predator though.first tip.. find out the laws for your state and what the limits are on CC and hp
for most states its 50cc and under with 2hp or less
I actually talked to Shawn at AGK yesterday about the torque converter for the 99cc Predator and he says that it doesn't have enough HP to use a TQ efficiently. You need to be up above 5hp or so before they can really be used since a TQ steals about .5hp from the engine right off the bat. He suggested their jackshaft kit or the EZM Q-matic.I see what you guys are saying, I guess it would be better to go with the 99cc. Can I use a torque converter part # 218353A? I can make the bushing. Any other help would be appreciated. Thanks
got a link?I just spoke to Don at comet, he said the torque converter would work fine on a 3hp predator. His # is 608 774 0481. if you would like to pick his brain. There are chinese take offs of the 218353a on ebay for $129. shipped.
I just went to that link and it states for use with motors 5.5-9hp. I guess if you do some upgrades to the 99cc Predator you can probably get it to the point where the Torque converter will work efficiently without robbing too much power.found link i was looking for...
