@tim220225 Gx31 conversion. exactly how did you do it? (what parts did you take off and what parts did you put on, etc..... I have an old RYobi 4stroke I was thinking of converting.
Did you try running your Honda on the stock mag ignition before the electronic? Was you reason for electronic to reduce weight? As mine is all stock it starts 1st pull of the chord, have you tried starting yours by hand, I imagine it would start easy although your electronic ignition may perform differently to the mag?
I see some people do not bolt a prop driver on as per Zenoah, rather they appear to bolt via the flywheel nut somehow. Obviously using electronic ignition negated the need for the flywheel so the prop driver issue may have been easier for you. did you fly it? if so how did it perform in all attitudes, I understand they can run anywhere in a 360 degree rotation but I'm unsure if that is 360 around the crank rotation or in all attitudes.
I used a Master Airscrew 18/6 and 18/8 prop. I removed the parts in the valve train that act as compression relief. Also trimmed weight on the case and converted to electronic ignition. Also mad a prop hub from aluminum.
what propeller did you used? and what modifications did you did to the engine to work with a propeller? because im trying to put the engine to an irplane and i want to know what i have to do.
The flywheel and magneto are of. I run an electronic ignition module on it. The idea behind the engines is to not have to buy glow fuel at $17.00 per gallon.
does it have enough power for a 1/4 scale cub?

Never intended to run it on a mag, weight was the issue. Someday I will find another plane to put it in that will work well with a Honda.

I never got to fly the engine. I did run it for several tanks of fuel mounted inverted, upright and on its side. Never an issue.
