 Hey everyone shiver 1,000 here today. I got this predator Engine That don't seem right does it What we're gonna do I'm about 99% 99.9% sure. I know what's wrong with this thing. I checked the oil. It's got oil in it. I just want to pull that cover off Let's see what the deal is Okay, guys, so like I said, I got this in on a trade But uh, I didn't care about the engine. I Wanted to frame the wheels and the tires Guy don't know anything about it. He was like, well, it's just locked. You just got to get it unlocked That's I was like look it's probably blown in and I don't care about the engine. I just want this part It used to be a pressure washer. Okay. Now I think I think it threw a rot That's one reason right there There's another reason Okay, I thought well, you know, maybe I'm just rebuild that Make a nice little go-kart engine because it's supposed to be a 212. All right a 212 predator Which I could very easily put on that thing. I Could put it on a go-kart mini bike what not But I got to thinking about that and I thought let's let's do some pricing on this first of all, I Done some checking to see if this thing if these are Bruno's out if these are Honda clones Well, nobody can give a definitive answer. Okay Some will say yeah, it's a clone and some will say well It's it's a clone, but it's not a Complete clone or whatever, you know so But I get to looking down in here now I don't know without a late if you can see that Let's try to zoom in here. I may have to go get a light Want to focus? What's I say? Honda gx-160 All right, that's a Honda engine. So I think we just solved that mystery From everybody saying well, it's kind of a clone, but it's not a hundred percent clone and People will say no, it's a clone because Honda parts will fit it and I know That this has never been you know This is the way it this is the way the thing was bought it was bought with this engine and everything, okay predator engines so what I'm saying is see I've got the carburetor for but Run 15 to 20 minutes every three months Abfuel stabilizer or voids warranty But this is never like someone didn't take a Honda engine put that tank on it's what I'm saying This engine's always been on this thing It was bought new Guy got it from his uncle bought it new and he's had it for many years And he said he was using it one day at quit running. So he took the pump off He had another one reason why he bought this one was because the one he had The pump went bad on Okay, so He just went instead of buying a new pump he went bought a new pressure washer So When this blew up like I said, they wasn't sure he just knows he knows it locked up He found out it wasn't the pump. He took the pump off this and Put on the other one That the pump was bad on Okay That's definitely a Honda engine because it's stamped that is not a sticker that is stamped right into the block You can see that it's stamped right in there. This is a Honda engine. It's got a predator tank So Honda Apparently makes the predator engines Now I thought yeah, I can rebuild that for about a hundred bucks, which I could but When I got to looking online here if I'm gonna rebuild that and like put it on the golf cart I'm gonna I'm gonna put a new cam and everything in it, right? well There's a camshaft there. It's 10 bucks, you know, there's one from go power sports For two 12, it's a non-hemmy. I'm not sure what that one is Might be the hand me. I'm not sure Okay, there's a cam for 14 bucks. There's the cam lifters for 10 Okay, so let's just say 10 bucks. I can get a cam, right? now connecting rods I guarantee you That that will fit that engine because you've seen the number stamped. Let's click on that. Of course no internet This thing keeps Coming off the internet for some reason Connecting rods. See this is the whole the whole thing whole shebang for $24 Okay, Honda GSX 160 to GSX or GX 160 GX 200 the five and a half horsepower the six and a half horsepower, which is what that one there would be and So on and so forth So I was like well, that's not a bad deal But now we're up to 34 dollars, right? You want to buy the gasket? This is not a big deal in my book I fixed many of these little engines This is not structural. It don't hold pressure or anything like that If you wanted to you could put a bolt and sealer in it. I would probably grind that down a little bit and either use JB weld or muggy weld it that's not a big deal if you got something like that You want to rebuild your engine side of the case like that. It's not gonna hurt anything guys Like I said, it's not holding pressure. It's not structural. It's just a little hole Plug it off And then I'm gonna need the gasket for that So we're up to Okay, that's 34 bucks I'm gonna need a starter Pull rope for it and they're $20. So that's $54 in it, right For the cam that kit and Recoil starter that's $54 now If we go back here, let me bring you up on something else Predator six and a half horsepower 212 $119 So we're we're pretty much about half the price of a new engine just rebuilding that one Why wouldn't I just get a new engine? You know, I mean I could get I get that Duramax there that for 20 for 369, you know There's a Brakes and Strand 208 242 that's lows too now. Here's There's a predator 212 ghost cart racing engine. That's that's only 300 bucks, you know, which I would have You know to build that up like that. I would have as much if not more in it than that You know, there's a Honda GX series, which that's what that engine is They're under $99 that's northern tool, but you see what I'm saying It just doesn't make sense to rebuild that engine, but what I want to do Is I just want to I want to drain the oil out like I said, I checked the oil Oh, it's fine. I'm gonna drain the oil out of it We're gonna pull that off of there and just see what happens. See see if the rod broke. I don't think so I think the cat Cat probably broke off of it or the boats came out something And that's probably what locked it up. So Because you know when these things get a knock in them, you know, if you don't take care of them right away They're they're gonna blow up on you. So let me get that oil drained out. I got my pan here I want to drain the oil. We'll pull that cover off just to see You know, I mean the coil is still good You know, I Got the carburetor for it and I got a good tank there if I need it for something But like I said, I mainly wanted that thing that engine was coming coming off there regardless I was never had any plans on rebuilding it But so let me get you on a stand. Let me get this oil drained out and we'll go from there. Okay, so See if I can get this thing work. This is gonna be a project coming up real soon my trigger Doesn't want to click all the way in sometimes so I do have an owning own-on engine back there I took it apart here a while back. It had it had a throne rod too and I was going to rebuild it but I Got to looking real close at the crank. It's scored. I could probably clean it up, but it's not something I would want to trust Maybe on something fun, whatever, but it's not something I would want to really Really trust with Yeah I'll get you down here in just a second, but that's sure enough what I thought Definitely a Definitely throw a rod Let me get you down here Use my new tripod. I got a new tripod It's called the key training center. It's something like It's something like a good will I got it for three bucks Looks like it's never been used maybe once if that Came in the case came with an extra base plate got it for three bucks I looked them looked them up. They're $35 new. So that's pretty good deal. It's still like my older one better But see that there's the rod and there's the rod cap that right here at your oil slinger So yeah, it cracked the rod right there. So And they may have over revved it. Sorry guys They may have over revved this engine. Okay, sorry to interrupt the video guys, but During editing I noticed this This is a low oil pressure switch It will if you get low on oil this thing will shut off some plug Someone has unplugged that that goes in there and this plugs up into that yellow wire up there So did they run it low on oil didn't check the oil wouldn't start and unplugged that one ahead and ran it That's a very good possibility. That could be a good sign right there Of why this thing blew up You know and then a lot of times when something blows up then they put oil in it, so Yeah, after it's too late, but that's what that is. That's a low oil pressure switch or low oil switch This don't have a pump on it But it does See user must check oil every eight hours or voyage warranty Well, I think the warranty is pretty well shot on this So yeah, there it is that Is probably the culprit It ran low on oil shut off on them didn't have spark They just unplugged that and then when it was too late They went ahead and added oil because it had enough oil in it. It was full of oil And that oil though it does look a little dark it doesn't look bad So that would be my guess on What blew this engine that would be That's what I would say happened to that thing. Also. I got to look and that kit does come with the gasket that first whole kit Where you get the piston rod ring wrist pin It does come with the gasket I'd be into it for you know a little more Than what it's worth really I'd still be into it for because I'd have to buy them the recoil starter I found them for like 17 something so tax and everything it'd be, you know, let's just say 20 bucks. So You're looking 74 dollars. I can buy that whole engine for you know 120 But I don't know might be fun I may pull that rod out of there and check the rod and see and see if that rod is any good That'd be the main thing All right back to the video, but I just wanted to see What what we were looking at on this thing Definitely, but it's not it's not worth By these engines as cheap as they are I'm not going to rebuild it as close to him out of that came in real good shape These are your lifters are also known as tappets not too bad. I've seen worse and they're runnable So I can save that cam That's pretty beefy cam t32. Yeah, this would be the same cam that They're selling I just showed you on them Go power sports for 54 bucks. So But like I said, if I was going to rebuild it I sure would put a new cam in it because I would go with it with a beefier cam. You know what I mean So yeah, this thing is I mean, yeah, it's definitely rebuildable But it's not worth rebuilding when you buy, you know a new 212 for you know, a hundred bucks you go putting Well, if we would have bought this cam you buy this cam from go power sports. It's 50 bucks. You're looking at what? Almost well, let's just say 80 bucks You know, you have any rebuilding this engine It's just it's not feasible Yeah, it's just not feasible to rebuild it. I got some good parts off of it. I wasn't even interested in it So that's that I just thought I'd bring it along With you this was filmed yesterday by the way so I thought I'd bring it along with me just to kind of dissect that a little bit You know running autopsy on it and like I said, I got the carburetor I'm sure the coil is good because I mean it was running when it blew up. So you know The tanks good the cams good The crank is probably good, but I'd have to get I would say the crank is okay But I'd probably have to get that off of there to check for sure Yeah, there's a couple good parts on it, which I wasn't even you know expecting really to do anything with So Yeah, there it is Okay guys, so anyway, thanks for watching Hope you like my hope you like my light show. It's pretty much done I got a couple more things. I want to do I might do I don't know if I will or not But we'll have to see so anyway guys again. Thanks for watching appreciate it I was pretty sure I knew what was wrong with it, but I thought well why not bring you guys along with me especially after I found out That that predator engine is made by Honda, you know That's not you know, like I said that that thing was never it's never been off of there It was on there when it was bought new So yeah, Honda does make predator engines. I don't know if they make them all there could be some clones like the $119 one. I'm sure it's not gonna be Brandon Honda, but that one is a Honda Or it's a Honda with a predator tank one of the two So anyway guys that kind of solves that mystery. Yeah, Honda's do make some predator engines Or they use predator parts That's definitely a predator engine. So All right guys, thanks for watching. We'll see you in the next one. Shea bear the myth man legend gone for now Bye. Bye guys. Take care
