G9 engine conversion

tew45 · 08-17-2007, 10:36 AM

I have some engine conversion questions. I have tried to post a new thread a couple of times but it did not work. Anyway here goes again.

Conversion to a Briggs engine.

1. Motor mounts I can work out but any cautions from experience would help.
2. Do folks with engine conversions use a start and idle system or do they use the start with gas pedal (cart system)?

3. The most important is the Yamaha clutch conversion method.

I can work these things out but I would like to be ready before I rip it down. I have too many long term projects now.
My G9 engine has a bad coil and I think the counter balance is knocking (sounds like a rod bearing but isn't). Repair cost would offset some conversion cost.
Do any of you folks have any input on this?

Thanks, Tony
