I am considering the purchase of a teledyne 4a4084 engine to repower what used to be a golf cart but is evolving to a 4 passenger on/off road vehicle.
other than removing the restrictor plate, what are the steps that must be done to modify it to it's 20 hp potential?
Seems to be a versitile engine given modified for aircraft, airboats, generators, etc.
I do have general mechanical knowledge but lack experience (and...sorry to say, the necessary confidence gained from experience) other than smaller 2 cycle outboards from laye 50s, 60s and 70s (30 hp and less).
I do not want to "bite off more than I can chew" , so to speak. I have machine tools and can machine basic parts.
Is it possible to obtain a mentor in this are?...please
If works that the engine is doable, then I will, of course, need a far greater depth of knowledge than I have now (ie: choices for carburation, exhast etc).
Lastly, are there other modification that could increase output above the 20 hp rating?
thanks!
the current village idiot
