Will I need to add weight in the rear to keep the balance and tipping loads close to the same? There is a Generac motor on ebay for $1800 that is rated for 40 HP that I think would be my choice if I go with the swap. bingo: Do you have plans yet to pull your motor? I haven't touched my since I still need to use it. Just curious to hear if you learned more about the connections to the pump. I found where you can buy a keyed coupling so I was thinking about welding a short rod to the end of it and machining a taper on it to match the end of the taper on the engine. That way it would still use the same connections as the old motor. Just a first idea, still not sure what's best since I don't know for sure what it looks like.</p></blockquote><p></p>
