Hi,
I recently "discovered" the Team Mohawk YG4 powerplant. According to their website, which is the Yamaha Genesis engine with lots of work done to it: According to their specs...


  • 150 HP
  • 4-cylinder
  • 100% Liquid cooled (not just the heads, ala Rotax)
  • 125 lbs engine weight
  • Dry sump
  • Heated carbs or EFI
  • Internal harmonic vibration damping
  • 4.0 GPH @ 70% power, 4.5 GPH @ 75%, 5.0 GPH @ 80%
  • Exceptionally broad power band
Does anyone have any experience of this engine? 150hp and only 125lbs sounds too good to be true.

I'd be very interested to hear if you (or someone you know) has actually seen or flown behind one of these...

Regards,
Duncan
