SBcaution

The sump on the V2403-M engine is deeper than the sump on the V2203 engine. If the V2403-M engine is used on an old engine frame the sump drain is the lowest part of the power pack. Ensure that the engine frame is sat on blocks if removed to prevent damage to the sump.

Combined Power Packs (one-piece frame including tank mounting)

The engine and mounting frame can be swapped complete into an existing installation. If just the engine is to be replaced then all the components shown in the Table 1 above must be changed and the engine frame modified as shown in the figure below.

Modification to combined power pack engine frame required to suit new engine

Non-Combined Power Packs (two-piece frame where tank mounts are welded to chassis)

The engine and mounting frame can be swapped complete into an existing installation. If just the engine is to be replaced then all the components shown in the Table 1 above must be changed and the engine frame modified as shown in the figures below.
