I purchased a Satoh S650G that is in pretty nice condition, the Mazda Industrial engine needs a timing gear and chain to make it right. The set would set me back $450.00 / $250 for a total of eight hundred US dollars.
That would be doable but not practical if the engine needed a complete overhaul which would more than likely cost close to a couple of grand.
I've decided to replace the Mazda engine with a Kubota V2203 DI, spent the last three days on the phone trying to locate one, plenty of V2203's out there all indirect injected.
Perseverance pays off, this afternoon I found a V2203 DI engine in a scrap yard. The trailer with a Carrier Phoenix Ultra unit from the 90's has a broken back.
The engine is going to set me out of pocket $600.00 Canadian, I'm hoping to borrow a trailer so that I can bring the whole unit home to my shop.
This will happen early this upcoming week.
If there's an interest I will post pictures of the project on how I make the adapter plate used to install the Kubota into the Satoh along with how the clutch is going to be fitted onto the flywheel.
Here are some pictures from another fellow Canadians Kubota implant.
