    Correct. But the motors have pretty similar legs and the previous owner was able to attach the lift arm to the V4 with some bodging. He says it worked but I’m wondering.

    According to the service manuals the 65 hp 3 cylinder weight 212 pounds and the 85 hp V4 weighs 252 pounds. so that’s an increase of 40 pounds or about 20 percent. Not sure what that would translate to in force on the lift cylinder….
