i tried the exact same thing... didn't work very well though.. those weed whackers don't have nearly enough torque for that.. need to make a torque converter for it somehow..
the prop is definately too big, that's your main problem. If you get a very small trolling prop you will not spin in circles and should be able to get about 10 knots out of it. It worked for me
weedwackers aren't designed for the torque water imposes, it may work provided the throttle is wide open but you'll burn more fuel than its worth. Better just to buy a dedicated troller motor bud.
Still a good idea! You've just made a puller instead of a pusher. They make props RH and LH. Whichever you have on that puppy, you need the opposite hand, that's all. If somebody has already shown you this, that's cool. If not, I'm glad to help and it's an even-trade. You've given me an idea or 2. Best regards.
@localdu Due to the resistance of the prop through the water, the centrifugal clutch would continue it's slipping, trying to get a grip on the propeller. That means you would burn your clutch.

@minedronebiznis yea i can tell by your spelling. ps...it has nothing to do with the intake and exhaust. you should spend more time in school and less time on youtube
@bowmaster66 hey asshole im 15 and he is wrong, but you could teach him the mechanical knowledge and make americans a little less ignorant one parson at a time. i will teach YOU. weedwhackers are made with all-direction carbs. and the piston motion going up sucks air/fuel mix into crankcase. 2 strokes can be operated in all direction becuase of this. 4 strokes cannot because the oil pump is in a position specific to the intended use of the motor, and it would not have propper lubrication
@traxxaslover123 Hey asshole. I was unaware that any sort of unidirectional carb was ever made. however you are right about the stroke cycle of the 2-stroke engine. By the way 4-strokes cannot be used upside down or in too many other directions for that matter not only because of the location of the oil pump but also because the oil pan or sump if your english is located on the bottom of the engine. Now come teach me ......
@minedronebiznis I'm 13 also I don't have any speakers so I can't tell what it is, but were the hell are you getting its to do with the exhaust and Intake? You can't even see the exhaust and Intake on this video. I sure hope you are a troll, Because if you aren't you must be pretty stupid. Plus if its designed like that and ran as just a weed eater then it'll run on a boat dumb ass
P.S I've taken apart 30 old weed eater engines, Rebuilt about 12 or 13 of them, and Ive rebuilt cleaned 4 4 stroke

Idiots didn't even think about the proper direction for the prop. Very good, glad to see at least you are playing in a pond with a little toy raft rather than out there on the water with the rest of the boats. You are much safer in your little pond.
No valves! from Wiki "Regular gasoline two-stroke engines will run backwards with little problem, and this has been used to provide a "reversing" facility in microcars such as the Messerschmitt KR200 that lacked reverse gearing."
need to lift your intake port

modern 2-strokes will only run one-way, otherwise it would blow through the carb, unless it had a valve, then it just wouldnt do anything.
