Does anyone know if a 250 timberwolf motor will fit in the YTM225 chassis? It looks like they are very similar.
Thanks

I don't know if the whole motor will fit but I am almost possitive that the top end will fit.

No, it will not with out a lot of modifications. Yes I know from experiance. I have been looking for a bigger and more modern power plant for a YTM and I have tried several. The Timber wolf has a much larger bottom end and will not bolt into anything.

The thing that was wierd though, was that it didn't have a recoil starter backup!
Oh... and the funny thing is, it says its a 250, but on the jug it's < 10cc bigger if that than the 225DX jug! (223CC versus 229cc if I recall??)

I am not sure on the year. However, the one I tried had High and low with reverse. That larger bottom end was not even close.
