This is not a big deal but might be interesting to someone.
Was at our local hobby shop and someone traded a G23 in to them and said they could not keep it running so I got it pretty cheap. The first thing I seen was the high in set at 2 1/2 turns out, Well I started cutting off all the metal needed for the flywheel and magneto. Took a total of one pound off the engine and replaced with 1 oz off electronic's (CH) used the existing coil.
The engine came out 2lb 3oz with everything but muffler and battery. Ran it today and got 8,000 RPM with 16-8 prop. this is a better weight than I see advertised for most gas light weigh engines. just though some of you engine addicts might like to know.
