 Re: HUGE PROBLEM with shaft and engine
Get a u joint that is 1 inch on one side and 3/4 on the other. I'm sure they make something like that

 Re: HUGE PROBLEM with shaft and engine
You can certainly get a u joint that works. You can buy the joint in three separate pieces. Small shaft end, big shaft end, and spider (center part)

 Re: HUGE PROBLEM with shaft and engine
My bad guys! I read on another forum that I was going to have to put a clutch on it and cost around 400$. I didn't know you could mix yoke sizes on the u joints!

 Re: HUGE PROBLEM with shaft and engine
Why is the predator 420cc 13 horses and the Duromax 420cc 16 horses? Is there a difference in the carb or exhaust?

 Re: HUGE PROBLEM with shaft and engine
You cant mix yoke sizes, just what shaft the yoke is built to fit. They are all going to be 1000 series yokes just built to fit either a 3/4 or 1" shaft.
