I have this same clutch. Used it for 15 miles and now the bushing keeps binding up whenever I idle. Its been oiled but I'm at a loss as to how it already wore out. Now it only starts and stays running if I pedal start it and it sounds absolutely horrible.

So I want to add a pulse pump to my stock Predator 420. I'm looking at buying the Carb Insulator with vacuum port (rather than taping the engine myself), and buying a pump to pull gas from a stand-alone tank. This is for a pressure washing setup, not for racing. Which pump should I buy with the Carb Insulator?
@user-hp6sp3qg2q23 күн бұрын
Any pump will do, also you can buy a plastic piece for the motor that fits with stock motor. It has the pulse barb already on it and you’ll still be able to run stock carb etc .

I am restoring an engine. (It’s just a clone 196cc) and noticed that it has aluminum push rods. I think I would rather have steel pushrods in it though. I have a spare clone 163cc that has steel pushrods. The aluminum rods are 0.0035 shorter than the steel rods. Would it be ok for me to swap them? Is that a big enough difference to warrant not swapping or will this difference not be a problem? Thanks for any help.
