Anyone got a Koler Magnum 18 engine or fitted any other to an Entec Chippit!?

[Big T]

Hiya,

 

Recently bought an Entec Chippit 18, fitted with the koler magnum 18 engine. Did a fair amount of work to it to make it presentable and useable. I finally got some work for it come in today, unfortunatly after 20mins of chipping it has thrown a conrod through the crankcase! So does anyone have a spare Koler magnum 18 engine kicking around or maybe a honda equilivant? Anyone fitted a Kubota diesel etc to a chippit?? Any help greatly appreciated!

I have one that may be available. Does the fuel tank wrap around the air filter /carb

The fuel tank on mine is a seperate plastic one, if its the same engine then it might be possible to take the wrap around one off??

Its a Horizontal shaft engine in after by the way!

Im looking at a honda clone engine, 16hp, electric start. Im thinking that the old Koler was 18hp when it left the factory and I very much doubt if it was still putting out 18hp before it blew up! My concerns are,

 

Do you think 16hp will be enough for a 4" gravity fed chipper? (The timberwolf 3" machine only has 13hp)

 

Will it make a differance if I use a single cylinder instaed of a twin cylinder?

 

I can get a honda copy 20hp v twin but its twice the price of the 16hp single.....

 

Any thoughts??

Must admit I know a few people that have purchased the Honda v twin 20hp copy engine . So far they have all given the thumbs up .

Thats encouraging news.....the one im looking at is a Launtop. Its bout £550, but the 16hp elec start 16hp is only £250. Hoping the 16hp will be suitable for my chipper as its obviously half the price of the 20hp! Just wondering if a single cylinder will be ok, after all they fit a 13hp single to the 3" Timberwolf so im thinking a 16hp single might be ok for my chipper, the old engine was 18hp but that was when it was new, i seriously doubt if it was putting out 16hp or more when I was using it.
