Status: offline 		Anyone see one of these yet? On a small snowblower? The local hardware store guy knows I am a conversion guy. Soon as I walked in the door he was pointing it out.

Thought I would bring it up as I don't think I have seen it mentioned yet.

After a quick search online it might actually be a 98cc .85 liter ? Powerlite single stage?

I checked again today it is an 87cc toro 4 cycle, so I changed the title of the post to reflect that.

Status: offline 		Well I am like you, hoping someone else takes the lead

My buddy is considering it for a 1/3 pup..but he says until someone determines the bearing setup. either firsthand or with a factory drawing he is sitting on the fence as well.

I am not really an expert in conversions as much as I follow the lead of more accomplished mechanics...

Status: offline 		If you make it a gas/glow conversion the oiling will not be as much of a problem. Others have had success with the B&S 40cc, 4-stroke with wet sump.
