Harbor Freight 22HP Predator Engine

Any chance someone here has one of these engines? Got a machine to repower and the owner doesn't want to spend big bucks. I need the measurement from the front of the engine at the flywheel screen to back of the engine at the tip of the crankshaft. Called the semi local store last night, trying to save an hours drive time, and the kid on the phone didn't seem to know how to use a tape measure.

 

Not sure if this has the measurement you are looking for, but there are some specs listed on HF's website. I'm guessing it would be the "length" measurement?

Looked at that and couldn't tell if the listed length was to the crankshaft or the muffler which sticks out further than the crank.

 

At he will post in a minute

 

16 in

 

Anything else?

 

19.2 with muffler

 

Thank you. She'll fit just fine. What did you install yours in? Any down side to this engine for your application?

 

I was driving by the local HF and pulled it to measure it for you, I do not own one.

 

Very nice of you. Much appreciated.

 

For you ironpony

 

Now that is what I'm talkin bout when I say we got lots of good folks around here.

 

If you need any more info, I plan to visit HF on Saturday.

 

Picked it up today and as soon as my back quits hurting I'll start the install.

 

Good luck with the project...and your back.

 

Thanks. I'm gonna need some luck with my back I think.

 

Let the games begin. Need a lovejoy coupler, throttle cable, and to make a wiring harness and motor mount and its off to the races.

 

Finished it up this weekend. Had to make a motor mount and wiring harness but it runs great and functions as it should. Only thing I'm not happy with is the vibration. Removing an opposing twin and installing a V twin makes her shake a bit but there wasn't enough room to add rubber mounts.

 

Nice job
