Sorry, new here. I just picked up a frame from a friend. Getting it home, I tried to get a predator 212 engine in the frame. It didn't fit. The exhaust and the carb didn't allow the motor to sit in the frame. i realize these could probably be relocated, but my biggest concern was the motor's shaft location forced the motor to the extreme right side of the frame. Far enough that I was concerned about overall balance when finished.
Will a 3 hp motor be significantly less in width than the 6.5 allowing the clutch to align with the drive sproket without putting the motor drastically off balance? From the specs I found, the overall width of the 3 HP was about 3" less. In practice are they much smaller, since I recognize the overall width is for everything, some part like the exhaust may need to be modified.
