Military compressor with Harbor Freight 212CC Predator engine swap

Комедия

Replaced old 1A08 engine with a Honda clone 212CC from Harbor Freight. This unit will be used for filling tires in the shed that has no power.
The 1A08 is a cool engine for sure, but has its drawbacks compared to a modern engine, including: a mechanical fuel pump to prime, ignition points, no recoil starter, is really loud, and this one has an oil leak. In addition parts can be difficult to find. For under $100, this Honda clone engine was the obvious choice for something I can quickly start and fill a mower/gator tire when needed... I have one of these engines on my log splitter, starts right up and purrs even at idle.

    How were u able to get the starter rotated around on this engine as i need to do that to my 212 predator cc engine i had installed on a Cyclone rake classic on the vacuum unit but it was a challange being the position of the muffler as it had to be repositioned to clear the blower housing and had to add a deflector to point the exhaust down. and had to make a shaft adapter for the 3/4 shaft to the 1 inch bore for the cyclone rake's Miracle impeller. as this engine replaced the Tecumseh Enduro that was on it. as this engine has much better performance than that tecumseh that was on it. I also had to install one on a Cub Cadet 2 stage snow thrower to replace an Tecumseh no doubt. ad i got the new pressure washer from harbor freight that has the 212cc engine and AR pump. There is two versions of this Predator engine one like you and what i got is made by chonging ratio power manufacturing. the other one is made by Loncin. the air cleaner in the engines i got uses only a foam element which isn't good so believe it or not the air filter element from that Tecumseh Enduro fits this predator engine perfectly in fact i got two more paper elements for the two other predator engines i got. im assuming for replacement parts with interchange with Honda for some parts.
