Title: Swapped my engines over.. Howard Bantam/220
Post by: Rhys on August 08, 2017, 23:11
Well, I've decided to take the Honda engine off my Bantam and put it on my recently acquired 220. I got totally fed up with trying to start the Aspera on the 220 and want to use it sometime soon on my plot.


Pleased to say it was an easy swap over and now my 220 is ready to take down and blitz my green manured patch.


The only problem I have is I can't put my double pulley onto the Honda from the Aspera since I can't remove the smaller one that's on the Honda at the min. I think I have a puller somewhere so will do it at some point. Luckily the 220 can be adjusted to accommodate this. It'll probably run a bit slower due to the small pulley on the engine, but that's no big problem.


Decided to flog the Bantam without the engine, and keep the Aspera as a spare in case the Honda breaks.


Will take some pics when the weather is better :)
