I have just purchased a RIM that needs an engine and It already has been modified to accept a briggs 18 horse but i want to know if i can use a 20HP v twin honda with a 1" shaft instead?

That should work just fine. There are many, many engine options available because of all that space available in the RIM and Max IV.Originally posted by tatim78 View Post"Looks like you have a problem with your 4 wheeler........you're missin' two wheels there"

As long as the shaft is 1" can't i keep the same clutch?Comment

The clutch should work fine, but the bolt pattern to mount the engine is bound to be different.Stuck in the seventies- not in the swamp.

Hi Tatim; your honda will work ok ,some things to adapt ,one word of caution is that hondas dont seem to like cold starts and cold running due to all the plastic timing gears, ive removed the hondas from my units and went with briggs, even my grain augers and water pumps are now on briggs due to hard starts and busted cam gears that honda seems to have in the winterHe who has not cruised the back country in a 6x6 , has not lived life to it's fullest
A Mans level of mechanical education directly corresponds to the level pain suffered while getting itComment
