18 B&S 18 hp opposed belt question

Lo' Cash Lester · 05-27-2009, 09:09 PM

Well, finally getting around to installing the 18 hp B&S opposed engine in my '93 CC. My question is, does anyone have a belt length for me on this one? Without thinking, I ordered a wider belt for the 94c clutch that I bought. You guessed it, I ordered the same length belt as the stock CC belt. Once I got everything pulled down and started to look it over I figured out I have to raise the cart to make it fit. No biggie, but I have already ordered the wrong belt....ORGGGG! The place hadn't shipped it yet so they are letting me tell them what length belt I need. This was three weeks ago. I have been working 60 hr weeks as well as it has been raining here in FL for the last week straight, so if anyone can shed some light on this It would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance, Lester

PS- I will be posting pics as soon as I get back to working on it.

Lester, the belt length will depend on where you end up having to mount the engine....

And I have read here that an opposed in a 93 CC can be a tight fit!!

Just put a 18 opposed in my G9, work great, very tight, ran dual pipes out the back, way to loud, the belt I used was a EZGO Drive Belt 1976-1987 1-3/16"x45" N10977 and the Comet 780 clutch. Plenty of torque, seems I lost a little speed, broke my gas cable, so still buttoning up everything. Love to figure out two small muffler to quiet it down a BUNCH.

I started to mock everything up tonight. Just set it in there and boy is it tight! I'm looking at 43" belt, there is one from a snowmobile that is 43 1/16" long that I think will be "the one". I will pull everything and make the actual motor plate on my steel welding table and bolt it up as a complete unit. Going to have to make a drop pivot point for the front of the motor cradle, no biggie once I find out the exact amount that I dropped the rear. I will have pics before I start the actual motor plate. Thanks for the replies.
