Yamaha G16 clone engine swap build questions

1arunem · 03-21-2018, 10:56 AM

I have a couple of old G16 gas carts. Both have worn out engines. Looking to swap in a clone (probably either a Predator 420cc 13hp or the Lifan 15hp).

I will either buy or make a mounting plate.

My questions:

What will need to be done to adapt the stock clutch setup to the shaft on the clone motors? Please be as specific as possible. I'm a wanna be tinkerer..
Will shaft need to be drilled/tapped? Size, depth? Etc. Or is there an adapter that can be used?

What will need to be done to adapt the S/G to the clone? Can I simply buy a bracket kit or somehow use the old brackets?

Can I use the old fuel setup and remove the clone gas tank (small)?

Thanks.. Will ask more as I think of it.

I hope this thread and the responses with help others with similar future projects!

Warren..

A lot of great info there. Thanks for the heads up!

I did not see any info on a pulse port for the fuel pump? Any ideas?
