Default What engines

Could someone tell me what engines can be made to run clockwise?

Pretty much any two stroke that you can rotate the front of the crankcase by 90 degrees , or get a "reverse cut" crankshaft for . A four stroke would , naturally , require a reverse cut camshaft .....

I believe Enya 4-strokes can be run clockwise by simply re-timing the cams.

The old K&B 8011 and 4011 engines. The 8011 had a rotating baffle, and the 4011 took the K&B muffler. MECOA might still be building some new ones. You can find them used almost anywhere. Swap meets are a good place to start. A lot of them will be burned up, because they didn't take misuse or abuse very well, so look them over carefully. I've got several, plus some parts. The best modification I did to mine was to adapt a Super Tigre 40 carburetor. Over the years K&B used several carburetors. A couple of different Perry's,Irvine, and an in-house carb, but most were marginal, compared to modern carburetors. These engines have a bolt on front housing that can be rotated to 4 different positions. To reverse the engine, rotate the front housing 90 degrees. Any brand engine with a bolt on front housing should work. Some engine manufacturers make left hand rotation crankshafts. Good luck, Greg

It should be said that the bolt on front housing has to be turned by 90 degrees in the usual direction of rotation which puts the carb pointing the same way as the exhaust normally faces

Thanks much! I was rebuilding one of my old Webra Seed engine for a project that is a pusher and remembered that it could be done but I could not remember how.
