what motors will fit easy in attex

[ArgoH2]

ok So i am going the rute of getting a new motor but not sure as to what motor I want. I am not looking to race but also not looking to be a turtle my attex is a first gen body one. Also I am looking for a used one for now just to get her moving around

[LarryW]

Are you looking for a 2 or 4 stroke?

[ArgoH2]

actually either or which ever i can come across first. I am sure the 2 stroke will be cheaper. I am not concerned about elec start either just a simple running motor I will not be powering headlamps or anything

If you can make a simple engine mount I put a 8hp tecumseh in one pretty easy. Cheap and surprisingly still has power to climb hills and such. Briggs would also work fine. I know you said it dont matter but if your lucky you can find them with electric start and lighting/charging coil.

ok something like this?

10hp tecumseh horizontal

The problem with that is the crankshaft. You will need to get one that can support a clutch. You will most likely need to get a clutch. There are some gokart site you can purchase them or ebay. A cheap clutch that will work is the comet 40 series but there are better clutches too.

dam this engine crap is harder then I thought I think i need to find someone with a cheap running jlo but they seem harder to find then I thought.

so if I could find a go kart or snowmobile with good motor that would be best right? what would be a good snowmobile motor there are alot of old sleds around here.

Rotax 250e in my attex?

just got an email for a complete sled with running Rotax 250e i have pics too of it has anyone made this swap and how hard besides motor mounts. it has the clutch on opposite side and rotates counter clockwise when looking at it

anyone ever use a motor from harbor freight? I was looking at this one

I have one similar in mine. I have the 208tt with the upper engine mount and I did have to remake that mount. I believe it was real close to not fitting in the lower mounts. Those motors are pretty long with the angled cylinders. They do make an aircleaner adapter to run a k&n style and is sold on ebay for around 18ish bucks. That will lower that aircleaner. Then if you remake your own exhaust and take the fuel tank off it may fit easier. I have to pull my motor soon anyways. When I do I can try to see if I can sit it in there. It may be a wk or so though.

is the carb in your machine any good? if so you might want to PM member Kahn. the 1st gen attex i sold him had a 297 jlo in it that did fire up on eather. (needed the carb rebuilt) not sure if he wants to sell it, but i know he is planning to run something bigger in that machine. i can't tell you that the engine he has is great, but it did fire up
