    Exactly what I was thinking.
    First Guess is a clone. That side cover sure looks it.

    Hey if it works then leave it alone.

    Yea it's not factory. The Briggs and Stratton engine was swapped out 10+ years ago for that Harbor Freight engine. That was before they even had the predator line. Thinking about it it was probably more like 14 years ago!

    I am not a big fan of imported stuff ; however ; The HF engine can't be beat for the $.
    We used to run the Greyhound motors ( the model before the Predator ) on karts and lets see ' my splitter does have an import by Raven and PSI washer has a Predator so have to admit I run them too.

    Keep the oil clean and I am willing to bet it outlasts the Briggs.

    Yea this is the greyhound. Hardly anyone knows what your talking about cause I think there so many new to HF and only know the predator line they have. HF exploded their retail locations in the last 6 years or so so they have a larger audience now than if you had never had one near you.
