All that needs done is a couple of wires changed, I wouldn't call that hacked up.

George,
I couldn't agree with you more.. the ole opposed twins have a sound of their own.. and plenty of grunt to go with the sound. I have one with the original series I engine that is still kickin and I have a Mag 18 with 1500 hours on it.. still strong somehow! 
This Mag 18 came out of a Snapper... they guy chunked the KT17 before he got half the crap off of it.. wrong flywheel adapter, half the shrouding missing, wrong muffler etc.. Three bolts holding it all together, and none of them were tight.. that's why I called it a hack job.. If I didn't have a complete low hour engine from an 1864 I would finish the Mag conversion
