2 of 5 These are hard to start. Friday, October 16, 2026
Reviewer: Steven from Mineral Bluff GA  
I've used several of these cams, and every time the engine has been very difficult to start. On two of the engines, the cam made a loud clunk sound on the compression stroke. I know this is the case, because both problems went away immediately after replacing the cam. NR is not willing to do anything about it, so I've got the last one sitting unusable on a shelf in my shop.

5 of 5 Mongoose cam superb power on a budget Wednesday, August 19, 2026
Reviewer: Robert Priddy from Sanford FL  
If you’re looking for a nice strong budget, Cam, the mongoose is the way to go. Makes absolute raw power. Huge improvement over running a stock or even a 265.

4 of 5 Mongoose is a BEAST Wednesday, August 16, 2023
Reviewer: carson carroll from birmingham, AL United States  
Works well, definite improvement over stock cam, pairs well with SS top end, moly pushrods, split type retainers, moly pushrods, flat top piston, 26# springs,great low end, pulls hard to 7500rpm, @ 60mph+ with a 150 lb. rider on a minibike with 12t clutch and 50t sprocket, For $50 a solid investment, be sure to add rislone 1oz. to engine oil for break in and 1- 1 1/2oz. to oil after break in of cam and seating rings/valves.
