Dear everyone
My enfield is equipped with a 19T GB sprocket and a winsun 13HP engine.
Top speed is about 100km/h and.. that is fast enough for an enfield i think.
But.. against strong wind there's a problem (and yes, want to maintain this speed)
The yanmar L100 at 9 HP is made bigger and bigger by several chinese factories.
doen anyone have experience with the 15HP(almost 500cc) of the '16'hp engine by 'Varan-motor'
(16 in ''because, eh would they really?)
I don't mind an engine breaking down, but rather not in the middle of the Karpats or somewhere else on a summer trip.. yes i am that kind of idiot who takes his china engine- enfield on serious cross-Europre trips)
Even bigger (16?)HP Yanclone

PricePart has it available in their conversions. And have it rated at 15 hp. But the math doesn't seem to work so well for a 20% increase in displacement to produce a 33% increase in power. Perhaps they have small horses in China. That said, I'd gladly take one to plug into my Enfield.

Re: Even bigger (16?)HP Yanclone
The engines will either be labelled as 188 (13hp) or 192 (15hp).
Neither rating is correct.
I have the 188 motor in one Enfield and a 12hp Kubota Z482 I’m the other and the Kubota is hands down more powerful.
That said, I really like the 188 engine, it’s smoother than the twin cylinder Kubota.
I’ve ridden all over Europe with it, no issues at all.
A lot will depend on your installation quality, ideally some big support bearing at the front of,the primary and a bush to support the gearbox input shaft.
