I guess when I originally posted this thread I had lowered my standards to include 15hp out of desperation. Really I was looking for something...
Dcockey: 1. I feel like I should be able to find something under $2k. Obviously the more ideal the more $. Other than the age of this recent...
Well, I'm not looking for design/engineering advice at the moment, just a motor. It takes some trouble to explain nuances of the design and I was...
Wow whitepointer23- you're awfully critical, aren't you? I wouldn't mind looking for one that fits all my criteria- not sure what's wrong...
I think I found it! Hi Guys, So after months of patiently waiting and browsing, and waiting and browsing, I think I finally found a winner....
Thanks! I'll definitely follow up with these guys! I had seen that 1st link previously, but not the 2nd. I think its interesting that I haven't...
Would you necessarily weld in an insert? I had read that OMB and Johnson have kits available. I didn't think there was welding required- and I...
Incidentally- I did find a pair of guys near Dayton, OH who I had originally contacted about their XL 35hp 2 cycle- they had advertised it as...
It's true- I have been thinking that the only way I'd ever find this oddball combination is to fabricate my own extension/components. I'm pretty...
hey- thanks! That's a great suggestion, and the specs I found agree with you! It's literally the 1st (only?) factory example of a 25hp engine...
Thanks again! It would be great if you had a model or search term I might use to hunt one of those down! I did try a query at...
that IS a pretty near miss! thanks for the link! Unfortunately it's about 100lbs, and 10hp over my target(s). On this older link- the author...
hey thanks for the replies! 40HP is the upper limit of my target. 25hp is more practical and would represent just 10hp more than the 15's frame...
So to follow up on an earlier post- I was formerly occupied with finding the highest power to weight ratio. This is still an important...
Hi! Some recalculating has reduced my power requirements a bit on this, I'm now shooting for a lower 15-40hp range. The spec that I've actually...
Hi! Sorry for the belated reply but yes- thanks so much for the equations. Very helpful information and a great starting point when making these...
I did notice that, and I believe the jet is a plus for my purpose. I will readily admit though that I'm not terribly familiar. I would suppose...
I've been in discussion about purchase of this motor. Any opinions on whether this is a good deal or not? 55hp for 202lbs isn't too bad.
I did visit some of the manufacturer's websites already, but since all options are on the table currently, (new, used, modified, rebuilt, etc.)...
I know it was out of date, it was just the best example of a list that would be helpful to me. I was looking for suggestions for particular...
