General Discussion / Honda with ST Head Questions
« on: July 18, 2006, 11:16:59 PM »
I'd like to know what the folks here think what would be the best way to couple a Honda engine to a ST Head.
I will have several ST sizes between 5.5 kW and 10 kW by the weekend using one 7.5 kW for the 12/2 Listeroid project.
Would a 13 HP GX390 be strong enough for a belt driven solution for the 5.5 kW or maybe even the 7.5 kW?
Is it possible to reduce the speed on a GX 620 to 1800 RPM to drive the head with a spider coupling? Or would the torque/engine performance suffer too much?
