Re: done before
Back to working on it, Steering shortened 6 inches. Then Back to Mounting the motor. We decided, that we could modify the stock plate, cut it down the middle, add a few inches to the center, then weld it to under the swing arm to get the clearance we need for the starter. Then that's when my brother in-law decides to look at the clutch a little more closely. The Kohler turns out to be a 1 1/8 inch shaft motor. I thought it was a inch. Should have measured that. Looking on line, they are all like that. So, options, we could pull the crank, and take and have it turned down. Not much fun, and cost about a $100. Not a option is to buy new clutches to fit, front and back, I'm guessing at least $400.
My thought was, we have a running engine, and a die grinder, my inner redneck said yes we can! We just got to get close enough to put on the CPP adapter. But instead we called a friend, pulled the spark plug, and set up the old kohler on the big lathe.
