It adapts common carburetor flange patterns (PE17\/19\/22\/24, VM22) to the engine's intake port while preserving a wide, D-shaped flow path for consistent fuelling and easier tuning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this manifold fit my GX160, GX200, or Predator 212 engine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis manifold is engineered to interface with popular horizontal single-cylinder engines, including the Predator 212 and many 196–224cc clones.
