I'm getting the friction drive kit from BMP and dig the 4-stroke Honda GX35! I would like to get an engine with a little more power though -- at least 2 HP (no more than 3.5). So what's the next step up in 4-strokes with the correct clutch rotor (76-78mm)?
 
BikeMotorParts has changed the engine channel from 1/4" thick
aluminum extrusion to bent steel
please let us know how that looks and works quality wise
when you get yours
Thanks
I don't know of any other small 4 stroke engine that meets your
requirements
The Robbin / Subaru 35cc is about the same as the gx35

The Honda GX 50 ( 5/8" shaft ) needs a clutch kit from Staton and is kind of
bulky for a friction drive
Staton sells it as a complete kit too

There is a Honda 50 chinese clone with a 78 mmm clutch from Dax
if any are even available

I would like to know of any other 4 stroke 76 mm clutch motors too

I have an r/s eho35 on a gebe and a gx35 on a staton friction drive. he r/s eho35 is better. Pay a few bucks and get the eho35.
 
If you want more power on your friction drive, go two stroke. The TLE43 is 2.2 HP and works very well.
 
The Honda GX 35 is now made in China. Go figure, even the Japanese go to China to get things made cheaper. It no longer has a cast iron sleeve in the cylinder. The Robin/Subaru EHO 35 is made in Japan and has a cast iron sleeve. This equals a much longer engine life.

China? Thailand? whats the difference eh?
Get your facts straight.....
The Honda is made in Thailand in a Japanese designed and built
factory with Japanese quality control

I don't know that the Honda gx31 or gx35 ever had a cast iron liner
I have a GX31 which the GX35 was upgraded from
I haven't needed to take it apart to see

I am sure the Honda will last for a loooonng time and
maybe the Subaru is a "better" motor but so what?
 
Could you link me to the clutch kit on the staton website? I can't seem to find it, and Dave Staton just sent me a link to the main site in reply when I asked him about the whole thing (I don't think he had time to actually read my e-mail).
