Gramma buys the kid down the street a new Motovox Mini the start of summer. The tires go bald, the throttle cable brakes, he bends the front forks and And there is no Dad around. .. Just a kid with no tools. So I order the forks and two new Carlisle Snow Hog tires, I had a doodle throttle cable that fit. Then dumb @ss Fonz remembers I have a gently used HF 6.5 on the shelf. I also had an extra used conversion plate from CJTMINI. I contact him and he sends me new screws.
I start the swap and up pops the devil!! The Motovox bolt pattern is actually larger then the 6.5hp!!! It's a 1/2inch longer and a 1/2 inch wider. CJTMINI's or Hot Rod Mini's convertion kit wont work at all. And new holes cannot be drilled because they are just a 1/4 inch away from the original ones!! I have small round grinding wheels and round files but the whole thing is a "Cluster Flock"
Bottom Line Forget about swapping in a 6.5hp on the Motovox unless you have a welder and fab skills!!!
