My only concern is that changing from 9 horse to a 5.5 will slow down the cycle time alot or be under powered for knotty , twisted pcs.
I already have the 5.5hp honda , I bought it from one of my customers at work. It came from a snowblower that he hardley used. My guess is that it is a Home depot model. It only cost me $50.00 so i figured I can't go wrong.
John D,are there any forums to check out the Golf Cart motor swaps?
I've been thinking about doing that to my Yamaha.
do you know if it is a gx5.5 or a gn5.5?
the gx is a long life engine and is high quality.
the gn is more a lesser quality piece
Right after the rebuild it did work better but only took a week or so for it to go bach to the same thing. I am going to try and get in my Dad's garage this weekend (heated) and spend some serious time with it. Thank's for all the replies so far.![]()
I know you said you had the carb rebuilt but your problems really sound like fuel issues. Have you tried adjusting the carb's needle valve? After the rebuild was it better, same or worse? I'd try another carb before trashing the engine. There should be loads of them around.
