I might be misled about the hp output because I bought the motor a long time ago. The motor definitely has a bigger flywheel. It also has a 12v regulator and came delivered with a 12v starter. The tip from Eric about using a rasp on a hand drill sounds like a good plan to me. Thanks for the responses, everyone. Regards, Sammy > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "S.
