Now, for those with their "8100s," how did you go about hooking up the fuel pump vaccuum line? Did you have to tap the block and make your own mount or was there a place? I'm looking to retain my airbox configuration, and I'm wondering if my air hose will fit the carb. Of course I'll be taking off the stock muffler and air filter, for permanent use I want the stock air box, and I *think* the stock muffler will work too. Another question for you is this: How do I redo all my throttle linkages? And can I just let the governor on the engine keep it at 3600 instead of using the one off the transaxle? And one last question if you even made it this far LOL, about how long did it take you to get your old engine out, the new one in, and everthing hooked back up and working? Thanks!!!

On my engine the pulse line for the fuel pump comes off the front valve
cover. The throttle linkage shouldn't be a big deal, but wait and see what
you have to work with on the engine. I'm not sure how the CC governor
works. It wouldn't be fair for me to answer the last question. I bought the
kit. With a kit and knowing what your doing, a yamaha swap could be done
in 1 1/2 - 2 hours.
