Review: New minibike engine - The 274 is a great idea But at this time there is NO aftermarket support you can send in your cam to get modified But No way to get a Billet Rod YET it takes a clone flywheel Honda GX 200 billet flywheel fits Review: shaft / keyway size is odd - I bought this motor and I bought an L095 lovejoy coupling with a 25mm bore... Well the lovejoy coupling 25mm bore has an 8mm wide keyway and from everything I've seen that is the standard size. It seems like the shaft keyway should be 8mm wide or I need to buy an unbored coupling and take it to a machine shop (which will cost an arm and a leg). I must be overlooking something, can you set me straight on this? I would love to upgrade the review to five stars. I'm sure that the motor is great and I've used other duromax motors with good results. ## Features - 274 cc 4-Stroke OHV engine - Large 1.3-gallon fuel tank - Runs on standard 87 Octane gasoline or propane - E-Z pull recoil starter - Air Cleaner: Dual, semi-dry, oil bath - EPA and CARB approved for safe mandated use - Applications: Go Karts, Pressure Washers, Trailer Mounted - Mobile Carwashes, Log Splitters, RotoTillers - Cultivators, Water/Trash Transfer Pump ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #120,564 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #83 in Replacement Outdoor Power Tool Engines | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 4 Reviews | ## Images ![DuroMax XP9HP 274cc 25mm Horizontal Shaft Recoil Start Gas Powered Multi-Use Engine - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/713SfHm4gZL.jpg) ![DuroMax XP9HP 274cc 25mm Horizontal Shaft Recoil Start Gas Powered Multi-Use Engine - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81qSloO1XeL.jpg) ![DuroMax XP9HP 274cc 25mm Horizontal Shaft Recoil Start Gas Powered Multi-Use Engine - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81G-jSGZkSL.jpg) ![DuroMax XP9HP 274cc 25mm Horizontal Shaft Recoil Start Gas Powered Multi-Use Engine - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81JVgg2JVxL.jpg) ![DuroMax XP9HP 274cc 25mm Horizontal Shaft Recoil Start Gas Powered Multi-Use Engine - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81SOBr1GrPL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ New minibike engine *by A***R on March 7, 2024* The 274 is a great idea But at this time there is NO aftermarket support you can send in your cam to get modified But No way to get a Billet Rod YET it takes a clone flywheel Honda GX 200 billet flywheel fits ### ⭐⭐⭐ shaft / keyway size is odd *by J***L on September 20, 2023* I bought this motor and I bought an L095 lovejoy coupling with a 25mm bore...
