Will this starter fit my GX160/GX200 clone or Predator/Champion engine?

Yes — the assembly matches common GX-type clone bolt patterns and pulley dimensions used on many 196–224cc engines. It includes a 6-hole starter body configured to use three bolts for installation and a 47mm-height iron pulley cup that aligns with typical clone flywheels.
