Honda install

[maxheadroom]

Hello folks...

I have a deal on a Honda 24 Hp V twin and I’m thinking of replacing my 16 Hp Briggs in my MaxII

Is it a big deal to do.??
Will I have to install a Fuel Pump.??
I will have to re-work the exhaust..
Will it mount or will I have to do some work on the engine mounts..?
I’ve heard something about the drive shaft being Metric vs. Imperial and a special stepped key being required...??
Is the engine the right application for an AATV..??

I'm pretty handy... but do you think this is a huge job... Any comments if it’s worth the effort even if the Honda is a good deal...

Thanks and any advice will be appreciated...

Max.

I put a 24 honda in a maxll,It bolts in with no problem,I put dual exhaust but you could cut your manifold and ad a piece of pipe to make it a little longer.I believe the honda exhaust ports are an inch wider than the vangaurd.The clutch will work,The honda shaft is shorter but not a problem,You will have to use a longer clutch bolt.You can use the long key way of the vangaurd.I ran the throttle thru a hole in the top of the red fan shroud.Hope this helps.

The honda made a big difference compared to the 14 vangaurd.What motor do you have in it know.

A 16 Vangaurd

I iive in Ontario, Canada and would like to put snow tracks on.

I upgraded the the axles to solid myself and then pressed then all straight.

Replaced all the chains and installed the new style tensioners.. Also had a custom roll bar made by a friend who does custom cars..

Just on the fence about the motor, The old one works fine...but i think i will need more power for Tracks.

If you get a good running honda i think you will be very satisfied with it,You will have to slide the motor to the left a little to line up the clutch.The only difference in the honda and vangaurd is the exhaust and throttle cable.The hondas do have an oil cut off switch.

Hi all...

Well I got my new Honda GX24 but it was without an Ignition switch box so I have to figure out the wirring.

Looks like there are two green wires coming from the motor, I assume I’m going have to get a rectifier as I don’t see one and it was maybe in the switchbox. Anyone have any knowledge of Honda wiring. I also have been web surfing and think I’m going to have to disconnect the fuel solenoid.

Next after this is the exhaust issues, looks like I will need some custom pipe work...

Any and all advice welcome, I'm losing sleep over thing.

You could call comet clutch 1-800-999-8161.I called about a 25 kohler with an inch and 7/16 shaft and could not get one for it but i don't know about 1 1/4.My only option is to have the crank turned to 1 inch.
