RYOBI 31CC (MTD) RC CONVERSION ENGINE RUNNING

hi everyone, here's a Ryobi (MTD) engine I converted off a weedeater. I modified a set of boyerson racing reeds and made them fit. it has (2) pinned piston rings and gobs of compression! I put a new big bore Walbro carb on it also. it idles forever at 1700 RPM and I got 8700 top end RPM before I let off the throttle! it hand starts so easy. thanks for watching and God Bless.....

Looks and sounds great! You mentioned that you put some racing reeds in it. What reeds did you use and what modifications were neccesary? Also what other modifications did you make to the engine? I have a Ryobi 31cc twin ring also. I have already converted to rc, converted to cdi ign., raised compression ratio, and am working over the ports now. a racing reed valve would be the icing on the cake for my Ryobi. Mines going on a Funtana, so it;s going to need all the help it can get. Thanks, Robert

rc is a fun hobby and you never know what will happen in it or who you will meet. if anybody wants to get started, buy an avistar by hobbico.

or if you are low on money, buy a towerhobbies tower trainer and buy a .45 or .46 engine and a radio system.
