WEED EATER 24CC R/C GAS ENGINE CONVERSION BY DR TUNE!

hi, heres a little gasoline engine I converted from a craftsman weedwacker. I cut the excess aluminum off of it. it has a backplate mount,
I vated and rebuilt a 2 needle valve ZAMA carb,I knurled the prop adaptor and cut down the flywheel, I gutted the muffler and welded a pipe on. you got a straight shot to the carb, no special linkage required. it has great compression! and hand starts easy!!! (NO STARTER REQUIRED) I painted it with high heat engine paint. its ready to mount and fly. I think it will fly a 90 to 120 size glow airplane airplane very well. you can also put a 3 blade prop on it for ground clearence. its for sale.
thank you, Gary. ;-)

Hey there... I'm doing one of these for an air boat and i was just wondering, how did you cut down the flywheel?? message me please

[buderboi]

@bigdog2782 I did the most cutting with a handheld band saw, you can use a hacksaw.

I trued it up on a lathe. ;-D
