SEW 318 Honda Conversion

Frank,

I put a Honda 24 in my 318 without buying a kit.

I have CAD drawing for the clutch adaptor plate & bushing:

For the muffler I used an original muffler from Honda with a lot of modifications also to the front grill support and the sides covers:

For the drive shaft I bought an adaptor from Honda with a yoke from my JD dealer:

I made a new firewall plate, air tight without the isolation foam:

I don't have any wire for the throttle, I used small ball joint, linkage and bushing:

For the choke, it's the 318 original with a custom bracket and anti freeze improvement.
I didn't made adaptor plates, the motor is bolted directly on the plate like the Onan.
I have CAD drawing for the electric connections.

If you'r ready to spend few weeks instead of few hours for your repower, let me know I have a lot of information to share.

Frank,
Most of my own part list:


This muffler seem to be smaller than the original:

I don't have any drawing for the firewall.
This is how I took the measurement:

Then I transfer to a cardboard then I removed 3/8" all around.
Then I put 1" x 1" self adhesive foam inside the hood and the sides covers aligned with the firewall.

For the cooler support I removed some paint with a grinder with sandpaper to find the spot weld.
Then I drilled both the firewall and supports in the center of the spot weld.
I used the holes in the old firewall to mark their position to the new one.
Then I align the holes of the supports with those mark and fill the holes with weld.

Frank,

Your lucky, you have the opportunity to be the first one to try this new jewel:

With all the improvement they made, I feel like my old GX670 is already obsolete.
