FAQS on predator 459cc engine

Q: What are the key differences between Predator 459cc and Predator 670 engines?

A: The Predator 670 engine offers 22HP with 2 cylinders versus the 459cc's 13HP single cylinder. The 670 features electric start and dual exhaust ports, while the 459cc has a simpler recoil-start design. Both are horizontal shaft engines for industrial applications.

Q: Can I upgrade my Predator 224 engine to match 459cc engine performance?

A: No direct upgrade exists due to significant displacement differences (224cc vs 459cc). Performance modifications like carburetor tuning and exhaust upgrades may yield limited improvements. Consider engine replacement for substantial power gains.

Q: What maintenance schedule is recommended for Predator 459cc engines?

A: Change oil every 50 hours or annually using SAE 10W-30. Clean air filter every 25 hours in dusty conditions. Inspect spark plug (Champion RC12YC) gap every 100 hours.

Q: Are Predator 459cc engines compatible with go-kart applications?

A: Yes, with proper mounting modifications and torque converter installation. The 13HP output suits adult-sized karts up to 600 lbs. Ensure adequate cooling for sustained high-RPM operation.

Q: How does oil capacity compare between Predator 459cc and 224 models?

A: The 459cc holds 1.18 quarts versus 0.6 quarts in the 224 model. Both use SAE 10W-30 oil with different fill port locations. Overfilling either engine can cause performance issues.
