Hi
As I am chasing a secondhand engine myself ,all the info I have suggests that the manifolds are different .The cylinder heads have a different port ,port position ,valve size etc
The 18 hp is the 35 cuin engine single barrel carb
The 20 hp is a 35 cuin engine 2 barrel carb

The 23hp is 38 cuin 2 barrel carb
There is 21,22 hp single barrel carb engines 38 cuin

Hey Tomo,
I thought I had read somewhere, that the 23hp intake would fit on a stock 18hp.
BUT, I also remember reading that you could put the 23hp V-twin heads on an 18hp, and then use the 23hp intake.
So that could just be my Sometimers kicking in and I have it Bas Ackwards.

That's why I posted the question here for you and the forum to set me straight!
