Anyone running a Subaru EH65 engine?

[W B]

Is anyone in this forum running the EH65  Subaru twin engine with two barrel carb?  Needing some help with wiring issues. Give me a shout if willing to discuss my headache.

Yes, many of the landmaster/bulldog use the EH65.  What questions do  you have?

I have the bulldog 700 with the eh65. Never ran right from the git go. Carb defective. Subaru worked with me and furnished pars need. After that it ran well for some time. American Sportworks offered nothing. Their service sucks. Through mistake of my own, let grandson free on the wiring and fried both coils. Found a pair of used ones and got it running again then gov started giving me problems. I'm tired of pulling the engne to change parts on an obsolete engine. 

i do not need that much horsepower. I don't even use 4 wheel drive. Has anyone ever replaced that subaru with a Kohler 13 hp. It should work just as good as a golf cart.. Any idas or comments?

I have a bulldog 700 as well, the governor is giving me problems too..  LOL!  I hope to get the keyswitch to fix the carb backfire preventer in the Start position.  It has never worked right.  I hope this fixes it.  We have been using carb cleaner to start it for years.  I pulled the carb out, it was clean as a whistle from all the cleaner.  I finally hooked up a wire to the backfire preventer with a alligator clip and got it starting great, but I’m just tired of having to do anything to start it.

you can swap any engine as long the crankshaft length and diameter are the same and the alternator output is the same or more (For electric start and lights)
