TT-(Moderator) 1,162 #2 Posted January 20, 2011 Although you didn't specify which brand, it really doesn't make a difference. I feel safe to say that it wouldn't work with any of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Horse Rancher 0 #6 Posted January 21, 2011 unfortunatlly there are no options for the 8hp kohlers, but there is for the 10-18 hp singles there are parts to do whatever you want, steel stroker cranks heads blocks cams valves see midwest super cub, vogel manufacturing, lakota racing, zack kerber, and many others making parts and engines with lots of reliable hp. I have several in pulling tractors that make good hp numbers and will sing 6000-9000 rpm and are very reliable (several championships to prove it) you can do what it takes time,patients,inginuity,and most of all a healthy wallet.

chevy030303 0 #7 Posted January 21, 2011 ok than so if i take a 12hp and put a 16hp crank in it it would run? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horse Rancher 0 #8 Posted January 21, 2011 yes it would but there would be no gain because they are the same stroke also the 16 has heavier counter weights on the crank to counter act the larger piston of the 16 and your balance would be off unless you rebalanced it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VinsRJ 723 #9 Posted January 21, 2011 I may have missed the application for this but if you go to a Honda (GX200) or Blue/Yellow Clone 6.5hp, the sky is almost the limit on what can be attained. Go Kart racers are reaching darn near 8000 rpm and 20hp out of them. :banghead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
