Havn't done that particular engine. Looks like a good candidate but you need to check out a few things. the picture in the manual shows only one bolt holding the muffler on but you may be able to hold it on with springs like the Ryobies. Does the back of the motor have tapped holes to bolt on a motor mount plate? From the pictures, the shaft turns in the right direction. It has needle roller brgs. for the main brgs, like the Quadra 35-42s which have worked for yrs, in them.Ball brgs. are better but heavier.. Give it a try and let us know how you make out. Hope this helps.
