Coffee Shop / Honda GXV340 Vertical - Billet Flywheel
« on: January 08, 2016, 01:52:58 pm »
I will try this again, never got an answer the last time.

There are guys out there running the Honda GXV340 & 390 Vertical Shaft in CP/Mod-X Class.(I have seen this with my own eyes) What are you/They using for a billet flywheel? The ARC Flywheel for the Horizontal shaft is smaller and the crank has a different taper.

I am told the ARC rod is the same, the dipper just needs to be trimmed.

When using a Honda Single OHV  Vertical Shaft – GXV340 or GXV390…..
What Rod are you guys using. ARC says they don’t know if the Billet rod for the Horizontal will work for a Vertical Application.


Also, What Flywheel & Coil are you using?
I see they offer one for the GX340-390 Horizontal. Not sure if it will work for Vertical?
I hear the newer stock coil has a built in 4500rpm rev limiter, so that will need to be replaced with something.

Might as well ask about cams also.........

Is there a builder out there that is making these engines turn key?
