Hello
I have a gite tote, no clue what year or which model. It ran great for a while then motor crapped. I am wanting to replace the engine. The bike had the torque converter pully clutch on it. The old engine had a 1" shaft on a briggs and stratton. I am thinking about this engine. 6.5 HP Horizontal Shaft Overhead Valve Gas Engine
Can not beat the price and it is used alot of the doodle bug. The problem is the shaft is only 3/4" not one inch for the clutch I have.
Any thoughts on where to get a correct clutch for this engine, or would it be more realistic to get a engine with a 1" shaft? Would really like to get the ol' girl going again. I also thought about trying to just make it clutch and sprocket drive like a typical goat cart, mini bike?
I can add some pics if needed.
Thanks
George
