PREDATOR 212 HEMI VS NON HEMI

I have a predator 212cc p\n is 69730. What is this it's valve cover is different than my other 212 is it also a hemi. Valve cover appears smaller than a reg 212no hemi

Do you know if the Honda gs160 electric starter kit fir the non hemi predator ?

The hemi produces 2-3% more top end. So there is a big difference

That's weard I got a 69730 but it has everything that the hemi does

Which is best for a Troybilt

I got one with the 69730 and it was a hemi

The non-hemi had a hemi in the box! Box was sealed! I already ordered an electric start kit for a non-hemi! Dang it!

Feel like i have no choice, have to get the hemi version. Only in hopes a neighbor asks, "that thing gotta hemi" and i get to say "bout ta find out" as i stick a branch into my chipper

I have the pred 212 part # 69730 and it has the aluminum cover plus the hemi muffler. What do i actually have?

I have 2 of the 69370 with aluminum OHV covers. Guess they are putting the hemi heads on both now

I bought one today that says 69730 (non-hemi number) on the motor but has the aluminum (hemi) valve cover. Do I have the hemi, or not?

They must have changed something because I just picked a motor up yesterday with the part number you claim to be non hemi but has the aluminum grayish valve cover

I got a hemispheric engine in a non hemi item number box is this possible it’s got the round filter and the dark colors head cover but the with the same picture on the box but the item number 69730

The hemi has an actual air filter an the nonhemi has a piece of foam witch let’s dust an dirt by.

Hey man so I have a little 97 cc Baja mini bike that I’m wanting to do an engine swap which engine should I go for?

Where on Earth can you even buy Predator parts? I asked the guy at HF and he said he had no idea. I cannot find them online or in any stores I have searched. What do you do when they need gaskets and such?

I got a 212cc predator engine but my part number on the box is 69730 is it a hemi or not? Plz help me out. It has the same parts as the hemi it’s just the part number does not match and it has me confused

I have a 13.5 horse briggs motor from a Murry rider is ther a way to adapt this to that application

FYI - HF is starting to put the hemi engines into the 69730 box! Trying to find a true non-hemi is like trying to find Jesus.

Put one on a snowblower and it it awesome! Well worth the money.
They have a fuel shut off and they start up very quickly.

Man you know some stuff.

Pick up a Hemi on sale for $99 for an old tiller about 4 months ago.

Seems like they have a lot of ignition coil failures. I've gotten several of these that had been returned to HF for that issue. Makes they really affordable at about $60 needing a coil

I've noticed how the price has been climbing upward on these little engines over the past couple of years, I put one on my grandsons go cart two years ago and the price was $99.00 and about three months ago they were $129.00 and now in this video they have jumped another $10.00. I don't know if it's due to popularity or just inflation, but they are really good engines and still a lot cheaper than Briggs, Honda and Kohler.

Didn't even know there was a difference. Does it say on the box somewhere that its a hemi? Or you just have to remember all the secrete part numbers and idiosyncrasies?

i would buy the hemi.

China is catching up to well known commerical brands.

We run them without the governor in our carts on a dirt track and they take everything you can throw at them.. we only blew up two in the last 3 years of using them... no question asked warranty and just keep getting new ones under warranty

Those little engines have saved the day more than once for me.

I did not know that I greatly appreciate that bit of information this has helped me a ton you're very awesome mower medic so that would mean the engine that I have is a Hemi engine I'm 17 and I'm studying to be a small engine mechanic and run my own shop and that bit of information was incredibly helpful I greatly appreciate it!!!

Thanks, nice video MM1, now I want a HellCat pushmower!!

Yep it’s got a hemi!

Yes.. Remember when "Made In Japan" = Junk.. So is the same with "Made in China" now, But it will not always be that way.

I believe, at least the Hemi, is made by Loncin... i was working a generator with a 212CC Hemi, and there was a sticker on the bottomside of the blower housing with some numbers and the Loncin "logo"

I got an old 50's Troy bilt tiller that might get one of these in the future.

As always, great info.

Mine has been great in the generator and got us through the freeze. It’s a HEMI also

Wow did not even know the difference

great info brother, i wanna put a predator vtwin on a zero turn and she how she does
