Yep. There are a couple of threads on it. :slightly_smiling_face:

Yes the 22hp model will run an 8gpm 3k psi max.

I have a 8/2500 udor gear drive and love it! Run it hard on hot days and she sings all day!

is that a cart they are mounted on?

Does the predator engine have the same thread size for the oil drain plug an a Honda? I want to add an oil drain tube to make my life a little easier.

Guys I truly don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade and I like HF freight as much as the next guy, and I know some of you use these successfully, but when you look at it longer term, for $700 difference you can buy a Honda, on a piece of equipment that will last for years and years. That’s truly 1 days work and you don’t have to buy extended warranties, swap out the fuel pump, the time it takes to take it back even if you do have a warranty and rebuild your setup, etc. I just don’t understand.

Buy the right equipment if you’re making a living doing this. Or don’t and break down more often. The price difference isn’t worth the headache and/or worry factor.

I totally agree, just get proven good equipment to be useful for years to come. It will make you money.

I’m doing it more for fun. I don’t have room on my trailer for more machines and it’s a single axle so I am limited on the buffer size. I’m gonna put in the bed of my truck. Unfortunately it won’t last long because of the salt air, everything exposed to the elements rusts to hell. I’m not blowing money on a $4k plus machine when I can build one for $2k. From what I’ve read online it seems like 50/50 if it will last.

Can anyone tell me if the Honda drain plug will work on a Predator?

Lookup predator vtwin motor pdf. It should tell you the plug size. If do it but I have too much downloads of other stuff I’ve looked up, need to purge.

Will do. I’ve been Googling the heck out of it and can’t find an answer.

I’ve had Chinese lifan engines in my company for years, great little engines. Actual engine blocks last about the same as my genuine GX390’s. There isn’t much to these engines service them like everything else and they will last. The v twins might be a different story.

The Honda GX390 and Predator 670 have the same size oil drain plug.
