    Due to the huge expense of postage from overseas and the stupidly high cost of replacement parts here in Australia, can anyone suggest a viable and or cheaper alternative to the original coils on the above motor?

    J6RCRM 6hp to 8hp.

    Hi all, Can anyone tell me the difference between a 6hp and 8hp motor. Since they are basically the same block etc what is the factor that makes it an 8hp instead of a 6hp? I realize that 2 hp is inconsequential in the big scheme of things but just for the hell of it I'd like to try this as an...
