not much action on the forum as of late. Hope this post wakes a few of you guys up, hope all is good.
I know there were differences in a narrow frame mechanical clutch (127) vs a wideframe mechanical clutch (129)
I want to do an engine transplant on my 129. I got a screaming deal on a gray block replacement K301 that does run, out of a 127. Complete, still has an intact clutch. (but honestly how "functional" is unknown haha)
Is there any reason I cant pluck the gray engine from the 127 into the 129 and run it as is? Will I have to swap the 129s original clutch onto the 127's engine? I have had the 127 engine fired up. It smoked pretty good but then again when I had it running it was off a steady stream of spraying Gumout in the carb throat the whole time I ran it. I did swap to a spray Windex bottle of pure gas but I had to keep spraying to keep it going as the 127's carb is toast. Still smoked on that but Im sure I was flooding it, running it like that. I've been thru the 129s original carb, rebushed throttle shafts, etc
I'm hoping with a transplant of the 129s original, known good carb, that this 127 engine takes off and runs /with less smoke than the original 129's engine.
I do plan to pull the original 129 engine down and do a proper overhaul via machine shop, etc while I run it on the 127's engine. The 127 is not available, it is in the local junkyard. or was last summer anyway when I plucked its engine, haha.
