Bonjours,
We in Europe, we work for 2 years on the GX35, it has more torque!
Work ignition (CDI), the original is not good to use RC.

Hello,.
I changed CDI Honda by a CDI Zenoah (2 time).
Then he must remove the PIN on the motor wheel and give advance ignition (+ 5 °).
Attention the best engine performance is achieved only after 50 hours of use (long running).
If you want, j have a Carbon/kevlar ventilation carter.
For info I work in collaboration with HONDA EUROPE!

Hi Bents, i've been reading up about these engines too.
Some of the mods people do are.
Replace the GX-35 cam with a GX-25 cam
Replace the GX-35 piston with GX31 piston
Here's a link.

We modified the wheel of ignition, a Honda Gx 25 wheel mounting.
Much easier to use, because we can now use a 54 mm and standard Bell clutch.
