HF 99cc question

[foundmydog]

I know I've read it once or twice before...

Does an engine mounting plate come in the box with the 99cc engine when you buy it from Harbor Freight?

I bought 2 recently. They come with a mounting plate in the box. I think they are some sort of adaptor plates. I used the BGF clamp on mounts and had no use for the ones that came with the engines.

Our 99cc Predator engines came with adaptor plates. You bolt the plate to the engine and the plate can be bolted a motor mount for the larger 6.5hp engine.

Go karts and mini bikes typically have motor mounts with bolt spacing for the 200cc 6.5hp engines. The adaptor that comes with the 99cc engine would allow us to bolt that engine right into one of our go karts. The 99cc Predator is sometimes used in go kart classes for kids.

Don't forget the "foot" print of the motor is staggered. I think one side is 102 MM and the other is 104 MM. Important to know when drilling holes in the motor mount.

Have fun,
