Bernard 417 engine conversion by Villiers G200 on a Hako Hakorette 200

Conversion moteur Bernard 417 par Villiers G200 sur un Hako Hakorette 200

Transformation hako hakorette 200 engine Bernard 417 by Villier g200

The motor can be fitted without using a special plate. Use the rear oblong holes (in the maximum forward position) then drill 2 holes at the front.
The rear aluminum pulley needs to be shortened by 10mm to correct the alignment. Disadvantages: the quick-release belt position is no longer possible unless the exhaust is changed to a vertical one (I wasn't using it with the original engine anyway).
The engine is a Villier G200 with a 19.05mm keyed shaft, remote throttle, and oil bath air filter. A smoke deflector is used.
All that remains is to cut out the exhaust cover and the timing belt cover. A support bracket (here in aluminum) is then made and screwed directly onto the block using a screw with imperial threads (ordered with the engine).
With this setup, I was able to reuse the original belt.
This engine offers both quieter operation and increased torque.
Thank you to the team for their responsiveness and precise answers.
