I have a new predator engine that i just got today, and when i was disassembling it to remove the governor parts, i noticed it has a cam with a steel cam gear on it....from the other pics and video's i have seen of predators so far, they all had a nylon type of cam gear on them instead of steel. The engine i have is the 69730 model, is this the one that takes clone cams? Just being curious, i put a bsp clone cam in the place of the stock predator cam and it actually fit pretty well, even though it was just a tad more clearance/play in it than the stock cam had. This has me believing that the clone cams will work with this model predators, but i wanted to check here and make sure first. Also, do i have to get another weenie pipe for this engine or can i use the one that fits my clones? I tried to put the clone pipe on it, and it was very close to fitting, if i were to make one of the bolt holes in the exhaust flange just a little bigger or a little oblong, the pipe would fit the predator perfect but im not sure whether or not the ports would line up right. Also from what i can tell, the clone carbs and air boxes will fit right on the predators without any modification, id much rather use the clone airbox than the predator box because for those of you who havent seen the inside of a predator airbox, all they have is a thin piece of foam for a filter, there is no paper air filter at all in the airbox and i do not feel safe running this airbox that way with hardly any filtration, that is a surefire way to run an engine quick, letting dirt get into the engine.
Anyone that can give me some info on this, it would really be appreciated! Id like to be able to use as many of my clone parts as possible!
