As I recall the YSM8 is a single lever control and the YSE series is dual lever control.

I actually did this conversion myself on Securus and it worked well for two seasons before the YSE12 suffered a catastrophic failure.

I wasn't unhappy with the two lever control once I got used to it but in hindsight I should have simply bit the bullet and fitted a new, or newer secondhand, engine.

The 12 was a marked improvement though and I'm convinced that the ideal engine size is around the 13/14 HP, giving the sort of power required without sacrificing on weight or size.

Trapper 500/501 are seriously limited on prop size without some sort of major restructuring so many of the larger engines are unable to achieve their optimum performance anyway.
