Thanks Norm. Perhaps if the Chonda carb is offset, then my assumption that it would be the same as fitted to original Hondas is wrong.
The sort I'm thinking about modding is a copy of the Keihin 16100-ZOL- 013 (replaced by-023). Fits GCV135/160, HRU19R (and D),&HRU216.
Price varies from about $12 to $20
Mods required seem pretty minimal. Extend body mounting holes with round file to match suzi studs, drill breathing hole in airboxcover and mounting plate to match with new carbs idling circuit, cut/file off any interference with the new choke actuator plate (plastic). Governor/ throttle plate should line up with Rover's throttle cable and governor arm spring setup.
I've been looking at the work done by a member of an american tractor forum. Google "The Mikuni to $14 Honda Carb swap", My Tractor Forum.com
Lots of US Toros and Flymos used the Suzuki engine- all eventually develop probs with the mikuni carb, and at $140 replacement?
Sorry if I've misled you, but looking at what you've done with/for Victa's G4 and LM carbs, I think this might interest you.
I was thinking of mounting a spare suzook engine to a FC Super 24 too. This thread suggests I think about something else.
