Re: g9 rebuild
Cheaper and way better to get ahold of Tom at CPP and put a honda clone it, if you can do the work yourself.
See the big block clone section. |

Re: g9 rebuild
They have them on the home depot site right now 15hp they call it, same one maxtool has. I used one from carolstream because they were close to me. They are all Lifan 420cc engines some call them 16hp some 15, now harbor freight who used to have them for 300 calls a 420cc a 13hp. Used to be the 390cc was a 13hp and most still call it that. The 390 is a copy of the old honda GX390, but they have a new model now that is different. The 420 honda never made, but is just a stroked and bored 390 so it has more torque. Most parts are the same, most honda parts fit, you can get clone parts at a lot of places and ebay, though honda never made the 420 piston/etc. Honda parts of course are a lot more. Break it in for a while some stuck rods in them but may have run high rpm right away. You can mod them up to 30hp if you get spendy for parts, but around same cost as a v twin then. The 390 also works well in carts. The 420 I put in feels like twice the power in a G9, its lots of fun. It runs just like the stock engine I kept the starter/gen on it. That is the other issue all these engines (clones) only have a 3A charge system some have none at all. The honda larger amp system takes a different flywheel, very expensive to buy. So some have a problem with the battery going down after a while or if using lights and stuff. Or you can put the gen on just to charge, or put a car alternator on. I was told you can add another 3A coil to it for 6A total, fairly cheap. You can get an adapter from CPP to use the stock clutch, I did, it works nice it actually spins up faster with more power. This one also has a fut sheave on it that helps too. I put a car muffler and airbox on it and still not jetted perfect, thinking about another carb for it. Sometimes at part throttle it misses a little can't seem to tune it all the way out. It is jetted way richer than stock to run good.
Here is the one I did, but most are in the clone section. http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/gas-y...-thread-3.html |
