Answer
Hello Ray:

>>Most 12HP and 16HP Engines have the Same Size Crankshaft Diameter and Length, so the Engines should Switch Out with Little Problems.
>>Make Sure the Length of the Crankshaft is the Same Diameter, Length and has the Same Keyway.
>>The Only Problem may be in the Wiring of the Stator/Charging Coils.
>>Send me the Model Numbers Off Both Engines and the Unit. With these I can Locate the Correct Manual and Better Assist you.
>>Thanks.
