So I'm waiting on the parts I ordered to get underway, so it's going to. I'm going to go with the 212cc and "torque converter", not so much as because the t/c will bleed a considerable amount of power, but really because even though the 79cc engine is (only) $20 less than the 212cc, but the 79cc will still cost $30 more, since it requires an special $50, 5/8 bore driven pulley in order to work with the t/c.
Now on the matter of the 212cc predator, there are, in fact, 3 of them, the first two I believe are essentially the same engine, the only difference is that one is EPA/CARB, whatever that means. These are # 69730, and # 69727 EPA/CARB.
And then there is the third engine, # 60363,the one I bought, that is commonly called the "hemi", although there is nothing about it that I can see in the pictures that would suggest that actually is a hemi, in fact, it doesn't look like it is at all. Who knows, there is a famous airplane in the Air Force Museum called "The Cornfield Bomber", even though it's a fighter, and it was a wheat field. It does have a lot of different parts from the other two, so it is an entirely different engine. And they sell them side by side for the exact same price, I wonder why?
