Hi,
Do a search here in the forum and you'll find lots of info. The things I do to hop them up are things I have learned from experience, and also from a lot of study on the web. The boat guys use the Homelites, and you can find a lot of info about them and modifications on the boating sites. There is just too much to do and explain for me to cover it here in the forum with a post. I cut the squish band out of the cylinder head, lower the cylinder, change all the port timings, stuff the crankcase, etc., etc. etc.... It's a lot of work and I normally never do them for sale because I could never charge for all the hours of work I get into them. But they do run great when all hopped up...

I will do some more searching. Thanks. I doubt I would use it on a plane as I really dont want to get into anything that large, but I'm not opposed to putting it in a boat. The engine has very little time on it, both rings aren't seated completely even.
Are all homelite 30cc engines equipped with a double ringed pistons? Mine is, and the rings are very narrow. About as narrow as a glow engine's piston ring. I think mine's from 1997 or thereabouts.
