   i dont think it will work because of the difference between the shaft sizes     
   between the 10-4  horse engines take micrometer an see if there is a   
   difference in the size of the shafts beside you will probably  burn up the   
   motor if you use the 4 if you    
   need some 1000 i have two of them or 215 355 3512 thats all i do is work on   
   motors mostly small know. name big Dave
