If you can 9000 rpm with an Abell muffler or put a tuned pipe on it and get 10,000 rpm with a Mejzlik 18-6 I will be a believer
But the price is right , guess I'll have to get one and see...

Next weekend I'll try a bigger carb and maybe the V-tech. NOPE, not in the same power class as the G-26, but for the $64.91 I have invested in it so far, it's a GREAT little motor.

Status: offline 		I have a Walbro with a 28 venturi that I am going to install. I have already bored out the manifold. Now I need a header and pipe.
I notice the manual rates the engine at 7800. I haven't degreed the ports yet.

Status: offline 		Well, since the Cowboys are playing so badly, I went ahead and tried the V-tech. 7860rpm now. Not as big a boost as I was expecting. I think the small stock carb is holding it back now. Having fun though, will find out more next weekend.

Status: offline 		If you haven't bored the manifold to match the carb, that is a problem. The manifold as cast has only a 10mm bore and the throttle plate is 14mm. The manifold is designed to be bored out. The venturi is larger than the manifold bore. Just bore deep enough to remove the built-in restrictor and blend in to the main body. The manifold matches the intake port well.

Ralph;
I hope you can get one of these. I would like to see one with your ignition.

Status: offline 		Ralph: The "met your G26 match" in my post was to get more imput. Guess that may have worked. I owne a G38 Zenoah and had a G62...that I wish I never had sold. They are both very high quality engines, built to out last the owner!! I would like to see a few of these mac,s (MB290) with your ignition on them. It would put a nice little unit in the price range for the the tighter buget RC fans. Thanks Capt,n

Your presentation is very informative. Thanks for the pictures. Looking forward to more experimental test results.

I am bashing a very old Giant Stik into a twin. Starting multiple engines can be dangerous. Do you think the pull starter could be left on the engine? The pull starter does not look like it is very heavy.

Status: offline 		It would be very easy to keep the pull starter, four 1.2 in. standoffs drilled and tapped 3mm or 4mm. (I'll have to go back check for sure) would be all you needed. I kept my starter thinking the same thing, that this engine is so light, I could keep the original starter with a minimal weight gain. But so far the motor has started in less than 8 flips everytime, haven't used an electric starter yet. Right now, I tentatively have this motor slated to go in a Hanger 9 Funtana 90, so I'll be trying to keep everything as light as possible. Now that I've got some baseline readings on different mufflers, I'll move to the intake side this weekend.

Status: offline 		flipflop,

Your comments prompted me to go after two engines today but alas none were to be found at Home Depot. Bummer.
