[QUOTE="SkidRoe, post: 56359, member: 3290"] Hi Harv1, Your original engine was rated at 40 hp. IMHO, I would not want to substitute with anything less. But, with the original being a V4, chances are an inline engine would not package all that well in your engine compartment, so you may be stuck with the V-twin. Go with the 35 hp version if you can. Are your pumps direct drive or belt drive? If they are belt drive, you could change the drive ratio and let your replacement motor rev a bit higher (say 3600 RPM), and attempt to extract all the HP from the engine that you can. I did a similar thing when I repowered my 440B, but in the opposite direction: since my replacement motor had 20% more power than the original, I sped my drive up a bit for more flow. Where in Ontario are you? I live near London. Cheers, SR [/QUOTE]
