[texasfabguy]

LIFAN 6.5 engines at The Home Depot for $139.00 W/free shipping.

Better quality than the HF Predator.

they also have 15hp 420cc for $249.00

 

[HotRodDiesels]

Good to know.

Better quality than the HF Predator.

In what way?

 

[saychz316]

steel cam gear versus plastic cam gear

 

[texasfabguy]

quality in the materials used also, block is cast like the Honda. this could change so scoop them up in case the don't stay that way.

 

[waltsuz]

Lifan makes the old greyhound and the new predator engine line, there the same as far as quality. The little changes have been made to please Honda who also has a majority of parts made by Lifan. Its easy to find out with a little research

predator is on sale at HF tent sale for $99 this weekend.. use a 20% of coupon and that takes it down to $80.

That's a no brainer for me.. similar quality, more displacement, $60 cheaper.. yes please. I understand it's newer not as "proven" as the greyhound and others, but they're ALL chinese made clones!!! :thumbsup:

 

[texasfabguy]

I have both here,so I'm only going by what I see. I know the have different quality for the Honda parts they make for them so I'm guessing that is why the engines they put there name on differ from the HF ones.:shrug:

that stuff is removed anyway.I'll stick with the 196cc motors since you can get parts for them.

 

[novaracer]

i have to have the 420 that could be crazy fast:thumbsup:

 

[lawn-boy biker]

steel cam gear versus plastic cam gear

What's wrong with plastic?

 

[oldsledz]

I think some of the Hondas have a plastic cam gear.

 

[OldMinibiker]

I think some of the Hondas have a plastic cam gear.

But it's Honda quality plastic,he he

They wouldn't let me use the 20% off coupon when I picked up mine on Saturday. We still came home with 11 predators. lol

 

[scumbucket]

I have been wondering? Are the honda engines built in japan?

Wow. got enough projects to keep them all in use? :laugh::laugh:

11 Predators! Holy crap be careful around em,they are known to eat meat.Don't be their prey.:smile:

 

[rmm727]

We use them on pumps at well sites. Its easier to replace a year or two old motor with a new one at $100. I get the used ones. I only bought 1 for myself. It was neat to read the reciept and see "you saved $800". The picture of 11 of these on a trailer looked cool in the parking lot.

You work on Engines like the Arrow?

Send me a PM if your working with the K series engines ( assume you meant oil field ).
I can source you the guys in India that manufacture the K series
