Hi, read a reply from 'Old Bob' about honda gx engines....and trust his/your knowledge.... so was wondering if he/you can help or confirm to me that what i am gonna do will work.
I also remember other members who have worked professionally on those engines and greatly respect their expert opinion also, but can't remember who they are and it would take me too long to find their names right now, but would also greatly appreciate their opinion on the following subject:
I am gonna mount a gx 35 in my new frame and it will be mounted with the crankshaft not horizontal but just about vertical and i was wondering if the oil supply will be ok.
I know that those engines can run in any position because of the 'oil pick up wheel' (and carburator) BUT my one will run ALL THE TIME in that orientation so i am a bit worried that it might cause some problems in the long run.
Cheers Bob and others.
BTW. My present bike with a GX 31 has done 15000km and never let me down and i have given it a hard time (Sea level to 400m above.. weekly and to 800m every second week (with 3 speed hub/gearbox)).
