Briggs 18 hp Twin II for G9
Hi all, I have a G9 with a weak engine. I want to replace it with a Briggs 18 hp Twin II engine I have, that is in a older Simplicity tractor. I am not after more speed, just more power for pulling hills. I have had the G9 for a couple of years, I built a 6 in lift for it, put a power kit on it, and four wheelers tires on it. Still runs good, just lost a lot of power over the last year.
I have a few questions I hope someone can help me with. 1, Can I get a Rev Kit, or other proformance parts for this motor? ( Briggs Twin II 18hp I/C Model 422437 ) 2, The Briggs runs in the wrong direction, will it be OK to run the G9 in reverse all the time? 3, What kind of proformance should I expect out of the Briggs, compared to the stock Yamaha G9 engine? Don`t mean to throw a bunch of questions out, but I would be greatful for any help or advise. Buckmaster |

Re: Briggs 18 hp Twin II for G9
Welcome buckmaster!
There are just a few opposed twin users here, but by the model number on yours it should work. Very little aftermarket parts available, just not much demand. But they produce lots of low end torque, just expect to keep it in the 3000 rpm range. I wouldn't think that it would turn clockwise?? but not sure on this. May check out heymow.com, if anyone is hopping them up, those lawnmower racers will know about it! |

For what you say you want it for, that motor stock will be MORE than enough stock. Your problem will now be Traction!

Re: Briggs 18 hp Twin II for G9
The Briggs has a 1" shaft, I believe I will need the Comet 780 Clutch. Besides fitting a 1" shaft, is there any proformace different from the Yamaha clutch? I noticed by the picture that the Comet 780 Clutch does not have a pulley for the electric motor. How can I run the electric motor with the 780? I know alot of poeple set it up to idle, but I like the push the padel and go setup. Advise anyone?

Re: Briggs 18 hp Twin II for G9
As far as the rev kit goes you can get the stiffer/ dual springs and quality retainers, and then pull the governor. Not sure if you can find a cam for it though. That, a better exhaust and an aftermarket intake/ air filter should have you at the pucker factor!

Check this link out and maybe get with Goat to pick his memory banks ... http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/big-b...ndia-cart.html The Hyundai I think is the Yamaha's Bast*rd brother and lots of parts fit onto either ....... That being said, Goat did a rebuilt with the Bruiggs 18HP opposed, altering the swingarm similar to the way you will need to for it to work. From what I remember, he was getting like 35 mph from it? .... good luck |
