Has anyone had any experience adapting a jet ski motor to work in a Off Road Vehicle? I have access to two Yamaha 2cyl. 2strokes, and would love to use them.

You will need to remove the jet pump and mount some type of clutch and transmission. My guess is that these 2-strokes share parts with the snowmobile lines. If your 2-stroke is water cooled, you will need to add a radiator to make it a closed cooling system. These items are going to raise the price of your conversion so you want to think about a different powerplant that already has these components.

They likely do not have water pumps either, generally they are fed from the jet pump thru the cooling system and out the side...
