Default RE: How to convert OS engine to Pull Start


ORIGINAL: AnthonyMartello

Hello Community,

There are several differences between marine engines and airplane engines. First, marine engines are usually water-cooled. Second, marine engines require a special ''flywheel'' and ''coupler'' to connect and start the engine. Third, due to the high performance nature, most boat motors are designed for this application and usually have ball-bearings. There are two ways to start marine engines—one is a starting belt; the other is a pull start system located on the engine. The main difference is the placement of the engine. The outboard is mounted directly on the transom; the inboard is mounted inside the hull.

Best Regards,

Forgive me, but what relevance does this have to the topic of this thread?? You're not telling us anything we don't already know, but more importantly doesn't pertain to R/C car engines at all.
