The new Predator engine bolted right up to the jackshaft and engine mounting plates; no modifications necessary at all. The throttle cable also attached to the throttle lever assembly with no mods needed; I did loosen the bolt to allow the lever to move freely. The accelerator pedal/rod assembly has a good return spring, and I took a spring off the old Tecumseh engine to attach at the carb end to make sure the throttle lever returns properly. Now just waiting for some info to order the drive and driven assemblies and belt. Engine starts and runs well.
