Post subject: | First engine swap |
I'll add some pics tonight but last night my 11 year old (with a little help) got started on his first real engine swap and it's also the first real project happening in the new shop. The 2.5hp minibike engine self-destructed a couple months ago so that's been removed and the 6.5hp chipper engine is going in....so it's also his first hotrod project. Last night we got both engines pulled and the new engine test fit...muffler doesn't clear the frame. Today hes supposed to be pulling the muffler and re-try. The engine shaft sizes are different too so I took the opportunity to order a torque converter to replace the simple centrifugal clutch. Also removing a 1.5:1 gear reduction I installed years ago to give it enough power to move in the grass or on a slight hill....with the 3:1 (I think) torque converter and 2.5x the torque the gear reduction really shouldn't be needed. |
