I am looking to see if any 3 cyl. Deutz will work in place of the 511 in our 731. We want to keep it air cooled and N/A. Thank you for all responses.

The issue you will have with a 3 cylinder is the length of the engine, it may not fit when you try and close the rear door.....

True, the 2 cylinder just doesnt cut it for power. Id love to have a higher powered 2 cyl, but I doubt there is that option.

When the engine is running right, the 2 banger works very well actually. I did some serious work with mine, had more than enough power.

Did you repower with a 3 cylinder if so were there any issues?
