Well guys just got my son's XKE and am ready to transform it into a Jr F200 "power mule"

Have not done anything other than remove the stock carb so some of these questions may be answered if when I open the block up.

1) the breather line comming off the top of the head that goes into the Air filter asembly ........ Do I need to have this line attached to somthing? Or do I cap it off or do I put some kind of a filter on it or connect it to a puke tank?

2) The stock throttle linkage ............ do I remove it and cap off the hole in the block? Is there some kind of governor attached in side?

3) My parts are on back order right now (cam, rod, fly wheel, ect) The pictures I have seen of the XKE show a difrent shroud will the Arc fly wheel fit behind the stock shroud?

4) One item that I keep forgetting about is the starter nut. Will a Briggs starter nut fit on a kohler? Where can I get a starter nut to fit a XKE?

Well there is a start guys.

I was looking up some info on the Kohler engines and I stumbled across a website for Small Engine Warehouse. They didn't have any of the C6XKE's but I saw that they had the similar C series 5 hp engine and under the picture was a statement "Built in Japan by Yamaha for Kohler". Is the C-6 also built by Yamaha? If so, why didn't Yamaha use the same head configuration, that everyone is raving about, when they built the YF-200R1? I realize that the YF-200R1 is an offshoot of the same industrial motor that powers the 3000 series generator. But, a lot of other parts were changed in the racing design. Why not the head? If this engine is built by Yamaha, could the heads be legally swapped? Will it be a Komaha? or a Yamler!
