considering an engine swap

I'll take it if you don't want it.

As long as its a straight shaft.
That's the engine I have in my avatar cart, open up the exhaust and you can get a couple more hp's out of it. You can also get the rev and cam kits for it. You can have it pushing over 20hp with little effort.
It'll be so much fun you'll need plastic surgery to get the smile off your face.

Yeah I fabbed a throttle hook up. I took the old mount that held the cable to the old engine, and bent it so I would fit. I was really suprised that it only took about 5 minutes to make! Once you get the mounts made the rest is pretty easy. One other thing I would consider is an exhaust. Since my rear body on mine was already beat up and I have a dump bed I fabbed up on the back, I didnt have to reroute mine. The engines like the Gx340 and the 390 both have a short exhaust pipe that will melt the body if you dont mod it. Luckily I didnt have to worry about that since I dont have a rear body, but if you mount yours on there, tat may be an issue.

Yeah I reread everything and kinda figured that out.

I would recommend a Briggs though because theres alot more exhaust options. They dont sell anything for a Honda!

Because Honda already has enough power and it don't need anymore!

Got that right!

I do wish they would make some sort of exhaust options for them. I cant weld worth a hoot!

Check with Frank at alphacarts.com. He sells a nice exhaust system for the Honda.

Edit-nevermind that's for the Briggs. Looks like a good time for you to learn how to weld.
