This will also depend on how far back the engine sits. You could always add a little weight at the back to counteract this.The replacement engine thats rated at 40HP sounds like it will be way over powered, at least you shouldn't be able to stall it.As for the shaft, if you are going so far as to weld to it, I'd machine it parallel so its a *standard* mount for the new engine. Matching a taper isn't as simple as it may first appear....</blockquote>
