okay, so I picked up a predator 99cc for my new build and the cvt doesnt wanna be mated to it easily because its 5/8.....thats okay, I'll use the engine on the trike I guess.
So I was thinking 212hf and then found a honda gx120 like new for $75 here....both of those will drop in okay and use the 3/4" cvt.
I've seen gx160's cheap too and was wondering what everyones thoughts on the choices are.......My 2008 ambassador is probably close to 140lbs when done btw
thankyouzpt

Seeings how I lost the number to the 160 and the 120 is only $75.....its an easy choice!

probably not.......but I can get it turned down and slotted at the machine shop.....then use a 5/8 centrif on it I have here and maybe use it on my trike I dont like much....and yes I'm back to choosing for the ambassador.....maybe Lifan has something above 100cc and not over 200.......theyre more but at this point im tiring of looking......orig I wanted to use the 212hf.......my own fault for switching gears middle of the game

this ones just under so probably a metric size I havent yet measured.....it was on a pump and has no keyway slot so I dont know how the thing worked either.....it isnt tapered......aggravating crap for sure....I may weld something to it just cuz im pissed

may be easier to weld something on and toss the whole heap when it wears out or breaks

why not just use a sleeve and use the 99cc

because the cvt has a built in key and when the sleeve is used you would hafta slice the sleeve and add a half key kinda thingy...hard to explain but it wont work right...maybe someone makes a metric sized centrifical that fits the honda 120? that would work too I guess
