Dropping a 440 Rotax in a Harley 4 wheel cart.

starbanger · 10-13-2009, 11:59 PM

I just received a 440 rotax from a 99 skidoo touring sled and am preparing to start the swap. I will post some pics as we go. I will most likely need some help with some answers to questions as they come up.

1. Does the engine have to sit level or is it ok sit at a pitch?

Any big pointer or things to look out for as we begin??

Also, Does the clutch on the rotax spin clockwise or counter clockwise?? I am receiving it separately so I can not test it and we have no experience with one of these engines or sleds for that matter. We are trying to decide the best position for the engine and if we are going to have to do anything major to the rear end and gearing.

It spins cc and the carb.s must be level. Does the harley have reverse in the axle?
Did you get clutches with it and a wireing harness?

Banger be a little patient we have seen at least 50 of these sled engines come along and they are not drop and bolt, so as time goes on and the cheap big horsepower swap gets to be expensive they get put up for sale or pushed into a corner.
