There is more information on this replacement engine here:
https://www.dixiesales.com/ipl/733/MZ_MG(E)2005%20Engine%20Specs.pdf
(I'm worried that it might be a clockwise rotation with the gear reduction)

Re: YS624 - Wisconsin-Robins engine?

2009-11-20T05:51:11Z

Would this motor work as a replacement? Its rated at 10hp. This newer Yamaha MZ300R has built in gear reduction and is available with a longer shaft.
Max. horsepower 7.4kw(10.0ps) / 2,000rpm
Rated horsepower 5.8kw(7.9ps) / 1,800rpm
Max. torque 39.2N-m / 1,250rpm

Re: YS624 - Wisconsin-Robins engine?

2009-11-20T04:35:05Z

This 10-11hp? Yamaha is the one I would really like to use (its barely been used, came off a generator) The only thing with these generator engines is the they all have tapered shafts. The Model number is MZ300:
Displacement 301cc
Max. horsepower 7.4kw(10.0ps) / 4,000rpm
Rated horsepower 5.8kw(7.9ps) / 3,600rpm
Max. torque 19.6N-m / 2,500rpm

HI underdog this last engine what size genset did it come off of it looks about same frame as a ys828t. let me know I can look up the spec's. The first one looked like a ef2000 witch has a 5 hp .

Re: YS624 - Wisconsin-Robins engine?

2009-11-19T15:18:06Z

This generator motor is 11 hp and has only a few hours on it. I have never been able to figure out how to use motors like these to repower the snowblower.

Re: YS624 - Wisconsin-Robins engine?

2009-11-17T13:32:31Z

HEY UNDERDOG THAT GENERATOR EF2000 ENGINE I BELEIVE IT MITE WORK ON A YS624 . THE BORE & STOKE ON THE EF2000 IS 65X54 THE YS624 IS 69X54 . THE EF2000 ENGINE IS A LITTLE SMALLER IN SIZE .YOU WOULD HAVE TO PUT THE CAMSHAFT & CRANKSHAFT ,SIDE COVER & CDI COIL OFF THE YS624 ENGINE.SAY IF YOU TRY THIS & IT WORKS LET ME KNOW. I THINK IT MAKE IT A 5 HP ?

Re: YS624 - Wisconsin-Robins engine?

2009-11-17T05:28:50Z

I do find it odd that Yamaha would make an motor that ran exclusively on this one piece of equipment. Not that other manufacturers have not done this. But from a business sense it does not seem to make a lot of sense. Honda makes their GX line of motors that are almost interchangeble from snowblowers and lawn mowers to pressure washers, compressors and generators. When Yamaha was trying to compete in this same market were they manufacturing a motor with only one application? Are the old Yamaha generators cam shaft driven?

If you look at the shaft it does turn counterclockwise. It just turns only 1850 rpms the crankshaft turns at 3900 rpms. All the engines I've seen that drive off the camshaft the shaft is to small & to short. To use a normal engine you would have to change pulleys & belts to slow down the speed or find a engine with a 2 to 1 gear reduction . I've seen 3 to 1 & 4 to 1. I haven't seen a 2 to 1 before but I haven't seen it all . Has any one heard If yamaha ever going to brang back the snowblower or not. I wish that they would or some other company buy the rights & pattens to build them. Up here in alaska it snow alot in valdez & they love the yamaha alot. You just can't compare a yamaha snowblowers to other snowblowers.

Re: YS624 - Wisconsin-Robins engine?

2009-11-16T15:10:16Z

Is this why the output shaft is so far off to the right (as you face the output shaft)? Do other motors use the "cam shaft" for the power output shaft?

Re: YS624 - Wisconsin-Robins engine?

2009-11-16T14:57:00Z

Its a shame there's not a motor available to repower a YS blower. Do other motors (like Honda, Kawasaki, Briggs, Tecumseh, Yanmar) all have shafts that rotate the wrong way? Are there any replacement engines that will repower a Yamaha snowblower?
As I stand facing the motor shaft the rotation of my Kawasaki 300D engine is counter clockwise. The rotation for the briggs on my leaf blower is counter clock wise as I stand in front of the shaft.
Is there any motor that can be used? What about a newer yamaha motor off of a compressor? There are lots of those motors floating around with low hours on them.

Thanks for the info. Guess I will have to work on getting it to start easier.

Re: YS624 - Wisconsin-Robins engine?

2009-11-15T22:03:17Z

I've been working on small engines for 30 years. The only engine that comes close is kobota. The yamaha snowblower is driven by the camshaft. And it turns 1/2 the speed and engine runs counterclockwise.

I've been working on these units for 18 years. the converion is not ez the electric start unit has a different cyclinder crankcase , flywheel and cdi coil.It would cost tomuch to convert.

YS624 Manual Recoil Starter

2009-11-12T17:18:55Z

Hello,

I'm in search of a replacement recoil starter for a mid 80's YS624. I have searched several sites on the internet and also talked to numerous industry professionals with no luck. I was wondering if anyone can steer me towards a company that may sell replacement parts or compatible parts. I would also be interested in talking to anyone who may be willing to part with an extra starter.

New YS624

2009-11-03T04:58:57Z

I was looking for a used snowblower to keep at my gf's house (I have a fairly new Ariens 824) and found this YS624 for sale on Craigslist. It was being sold by the original owner, had the owner's manual with it and had just been serviced. It starts easier and is in better shape that my Ariens so I gave her the Ariens and kept the Yamaha! For $350 it was better than anything out there that I'd seen in that price range... can't wait to try it out!
