Okay, I got nothin'. There's Honda guys that change engines like I change pants. Knowing that it might not be too hard to find an appropriate ECU out there to swap in, the trick is knowing whether it's the RIGHT ECU.

I would think that the new ECU would plug up to your existing wiring, but it might give some trouble if it's looking for sensors that aren't installed or hooked up. Tracking that down could be a serious PITA.

How do you feel about hogging out that engine and dropping in a Briggs & Stratton? I understand those pretty well and might be of some use there.
