I have a 7117 Simplicity and I am wanting to remove the the engine and replace it with a Kohler Magnum 20 hp will this be a problem or will it bolt right up.

It will bolt right in. The ignition systems are different though, and you will need to either change the ignition switch and wiring, or add a relay that others can explain better. When I did mine, I purchased setup from a gentleman named Al Eden. Unfortunately he has since passed away, and I am not familiar with another source.
