gx160 using honda clone 6.5 parts

[minigonzabel]

i have a gx100 and a honda 6.5 clone. what parts from the clone will fit the gx160. ive read that the carb will fit straight on but what else could i use from it? what would be better for the gx160 just trying to get it running.

i would spend time on the 6.5 but thats my opinion but yeahh good luck

put the flat top piston and the head of the gx160 on the clone

 

[minigonzabel]

would that increase compression or something?

Yes it would depending onwhat piston and head combination are on the 160 the compression could be 10:2 to 11.5 with those parts in the Gx200.

The piston skirt on the 160 may need to be trimmed however
