7 Hp., 1.9cm . Shaft Recoil Electric Start Engine

I had my doubts about this engine being such a good price point but it pleasantly surprised me! I purchased this motor for my sons go kart along with a torque converter kit and it works great. Tons of low end torque for hills but still has good top end. The electric start switch did give me a little bit of a problem but i installed a remote push to start switch that fixed that. The engine puts out plenty of charging power as well. It keeps the starting battery charged and we run 5 LED offroad lights no problem. I was worried that the motor my not be able to handle the bumps of off roading, especially since my sons go kart has the motor mounted on the moving portion of the rear swing arm/suspension, but it runs strong regardless of terrain. It has even be rolled a few times, but we flip it over and it fires right back up with a few puffs of smoke. This motor has given me the confidence to try other things from Duromax. I am look at their generators. If they are anywhere near as durable as this engine, I will be happy. And again, if you want to use this for a go kart, get the torque converter. You wont regret it.

Le moteur est parfait, après avoir mis l’huile et l’essence , brancher la batterie et tout vérifier le moteur est parti au premier coup de clé et ronronne merveilleusement bien.Le seul bémol c’est que l’emplacement des écrous pour installer une pompe à pression est parfait mais les écrous ne sont pas inclus et ceux qui accompagnent la pompe n’ont pas les bon filets et même chose pour ceux de l’ancienne pompe!!!Si les filets d’écrous ne sont pas standards il devrait être fourni avec le moteur.

démarre bien comparé a mont autre moteur, reste avoir avec l'usure

That puny little 3hp engine on the edger is way too weak. This DuroMax is more than powerful enough. I got the electric start version because of how much trouble it was to start the old engine but this DuroMax is so easy to start, I haven't even used the electric start beyond testing to verify it worked. If you're wondering if this is a direct fit to the edger, it's not. But it's really easy to make it work. All I had to do was flip the two metal brackets that the engine mounts to, and since I wanted the blade to spin faster, I used a larger pulley on the engine. You might be able to get by using the stock parts with only a belt length change (since moving the engine up a little bit will change the distance between the pulleys. Actually, you'll probably need a new pulley anyway because the shaft might be larger on this engine. But this DuroMax is powerful enough to edge nearly at idle, so it's so much quieter, and it doesn't stall anymore because it has so much more torque. I've been using it for over 2 years, and I love it!

Runs great and should last a long time as the previous one did, we ran the last one at times for week only to stop for fuel and oil change. Also seems to use quite a bit les fuel then the predator it replaced
