Hi Scotto,
So the 7 hp Predator is from what I hear the latest HF version of the 6.5 clone. I see a plastic cam gear. Shane from AGK was mentioning that the newer Predators cam may not be interchangable with the aftermarket honda cams. Something about the diameter of the end of the cam shaft having a different size bearing. Do you know anything about that?
I also see flat tappets inside there. Try to use oil with a high zinc content or oil specifically made for use with flat tappets. No automotive oil here, unless you like paying for the special Castrol stuff.
Motorcycle oil is the way to go.
Here's a recent pic of the outside of this powerplant, I'm confident this thing is gonna fly!It really is a nice looking motor, internally.
Wonder how long the plastic gear will last?
...won't be cheap for an aftermarket metal gear...
Tnx for the pics! my 6.5 is settin in it's box for when I get a round tuit.

Hey Scotto! I was wondering what you would suggest maintenance-wise on my first 4 stroke project. I definitely need new brakes and a new seat. Any other aftermarket parts you would suggest to help it climb hills. I have a dax super titan 4 stroke on a schwinn Point Beach Beach Cruiser. Charles helped me build it. I am local to SD.
