Key starts

[J_Walker]

Well I'm tired of turning over my engine with pull start, currently have it in parts laying inside, but when I strip all the out side of its paint and return it to its stock sexyness.

I need two things, A kill switch, and a keystart. I was wondering.. Can you rip those off a lawn mower and use them on a Honda Gx200 engine?

As well can anyone if they have one post the throttle cable setup on a Gx200 engine? Still confused on how they are setup.

And last question, what oil is best for a GX200 engine? is it normal, or a mix?

Thanks - John

if,you mean,mix oil and gas.....like a 2 stroke engine????? a honda/clone are 4 stroke engines.......regular gas (un-mixed) in the tank.........regular oil,in the motor....hope this helps answer your question........as for electric start on one of these,you need a ring gear flywheel,starter,soilnoid and battery....

Alright.. ill see what I can rig up from the lawn mower than ^_^ HARHARHAR Bad ideas to the max..

here's 2 style's of hooking up throttle.....

Mine looks different... The carb has like two air flow valves that one when you open it, causes the engine to run, but there's on that flows what I think is into the exhaust that doesn't open?? cause nothing is pulling it to open. plus I still have the governer on right now, working on removing that as soon as I get the stupid thing unstuck.

Give me a few mins for pictures.

You mean multi-grade?
Do what manual tells you. 10w30 is what is called for I believe. 10w40 is a definite no, no.

Your pic indicates a MAX-TORQUE centrifugal clutch.
What is diameter of hole for PTO or output shaft? 5/8" or 3/4" ?
What is chain size? #35 chain pitch or #41 chain pitch?

[B man]

You were suppose to dumb it down, not make it sound scarier... How do I figure out the chain size/pitch? what is a PTO/output shaft?

I Just read that the 0 on the clutch means its a #41 chain pitch. theres one answer

 

[B man]

. the engine shaft.
