Default RE: Walbro conversion for OS 160FX

Hi Guys
Another successfully conversion on my older FX 160, since it needed bearings i replaced them with sealed bearings (no lube worrys)
Carb is DLE 30, adapter is from the Evolution 26 but i drilled the Crank case to the adapter size. Ignition is a RCEXL unit for that
minni Spark Plug, starting at 30 degrees BTDC, spins a Vess 18X8 at respectivly 8600 at 3650 ASL with 68 F temp outside
Starts nicely cold, bit lazy when hot. Chased about 1 quart mixed 16:1 thu it with no issues so far. Nice and quiet with the stock O.S
Muffler, might use it since i have it.
Engine goes back on an old Aeroworks profile with chopped wings.
