## Questions & Answers

**Q: Direction of rotation**
A: Look at the pull starter.  Easy to see which way the start rope is wrapped.  Engine will run same direction pull starter turns it.  On back of engine, is other end of same shaft.

**Q: can i buy it if i need it for a honda gx240 engine mortar mixer**
A: 79 goes into 240 about 3 times. So you'll need three of these engines.

**Q: Is there a place to connect a throttle cable (spring loaded) so that it can be used as a go kart motor?  Or dose it require modifications?  thx**
A: motor has built in cable mount.  if you are using a gas peddle, you will need a return spring but the attachment point and cable clamp are there.

**Q: Which side is the 6:1 gear reduction on? I order one, but after looking at the picture, it may not work on my plow hoss. looking from the rear.**
A: If the gear reduction is not turned the correct way,  you can take the gearbox off and rotate it.  It could void the warranty though.   I have not tried this on the lifan,  but have done so on several B&S with no problems
