Honda GXV670 TAF 24hp on Hustler Z

[SEK Archer]

I have just purchased a good deal on the Honda 24hp for my Hustler Z rebuild. It is the TAF model, so it comes with the standard air breather vs the HD Air cannister that comes on the TAF2 model they put on the Hutler Z's.

How is the experience with the air breather system on this motor? Is it adequate for this size motor, or should I consider upgrading the motor to the HD air system.

I like the Air Cannister system that was originally on this Hustler w/ the Kaw 25, but my brother has the 20hp Honda with the std air on his Hustler and loves it, and deal was too good to pass.

Thanks!

You may find that in dusty or bagging conditions that the air filter will plug up quicker than with the cannister system.
Otherwise I think you would be ok.
