RE: New Evolution 10cc gas engine

I did a little bit of tuning on the engine last night and switched props. I put a APC 12x8 on it and the vibrations went WAY down and the sound levels also decreased quite a bit. I am thinking this...

do NOT use that inside the tank though. I purchsed some and it gets hard and brittlefast. I only use it on vent lines or fill lines as I don't trust it on a feed line. Tygon is a much better solution...

RE: New Evolution 10cc gas engine

RE: New Evolution 10cc gas engine

My engine was dropped off a bit ago. Wish I wasn't at work right now, lol.

How much Viton is included with the engine? is it enough to do all the plumbing?

RE: New Evolution 10cc gas engine

Has anyone considered mounting this on a profile? I am kicking around getting one of these engines and putting it in a kit built OMP Katana (old) or restoring a H9 twist 40 up in the rafters.
