    Merry Christmas y’all! Just to clear the air, No, the Muffkin off the original engine wouldn’t fit in place of the new one with that fan housing. If it would have fit, I would have used it. Thanks fer watchin

    I'm glad that I'm not the only person who puts stuff together, finds out it won't work, and then has to redo it. Merry Christmas, Taryl!

      That's pretty par for the course. That's why they call it working on stuff. You keep working until you get it to work. Or you've had enough. That happens sometimes too.

    I did that exact swap about 10 years ago. The muffler was definitely a sticking point.
    I used the Predator muffkin with a piece 1" od 90deg. Tubing . Still runs great.

  • @3krazy
    @3krazy Před 6 měsíci +10

    I did the exact same swap a couple of years ago. I had to buy a 1” to 3/4” sleeve adapter for the crank to fit the fan, and buy a curved exhaust pipe off of eBay and mounted the old cylindrical muffler from my old Briggs. Works great!

    • @rayboone9562
      @rayboone9562 Před 6 měsíci +2

      Same here, adapter for the crank. For the muffler, I cut the pipe and added about a 3” extension and used the original muffler. That’s been like 5 years ago and still going strong.

    Did this a few years ago. I guess I took the easy way out, I cut off the Predator muffkin and welded a steel 90 degree pipe fitting to it. Screwed on a Briggs hot dog muffler for an 8 hp and ran it until I sold it, when I decided to go with a backpack blower. Love the Predators, but I did bust the crank on one when the leaf vac ingested a bigger stone. Engine still ran like new, but was useless with it broke flush with the side cover.

  • @user-em1fb9ws9d
    @user-em1fb9ws9d Před 6 měsíci +1

    Did the same job about 6 years ago. I cut the pipe off of the mufkin about mid way and added a 3/4" 45 degree street el. Brazed the pieces together and works great. The mufkin tilts in more but is a little higher so there's plenty of room for the spark plug and it now clears the fan housing. Great engine. Starts first pull every time.

    One thing you could use the copper Anti Seize for is for installing antennas on cars: This works for me every time I have to install an antenna for CB Radio or something else because:
    - It repells water
    - It conducts and makes shure to get a good ground connection
    - Water wouldn't wash it away any time soon
    - It does not seem to corrode!

    I did this exact same swap about 5 years ago on our TracVac. Yep, the muffkin was the sticking point. I got a little creative and made it work. Still runs great today, those predators are pretty decent engines.
    Oxygen/propane works pretty good too for a torch setup, and propane is lots cheaper than aphetamine (acetylene for the non-grass rats). But, you do use more oxygen with propane.
