I got a sweat deal on a Synchro-spark unit from Terry at CH. I believe it was a damaged unit that had been repaired. Works perfectly.

I ordered the gaskets from the local mower shop. They should be here next week. I ordered new gaskets for the carb, backplate, and jug, as well as a carb rebuild kit for the one I am using from the Mac 35cc engine.

I bent the reed valve stop on the backplate to let more gas in. I got the ring from Frank Bowman on Saturday.

I've got a motor mount and muffler coming in the mail.

I have the following props available:
APC 16-10
APC 16-8
Zinger 16-8
Zinger 20-6
Top Flite 18-6
Top Flite 18-8
Top Flite 18-10
MA Schimitar Wood 19-8

I'll probably try them all with the stock ring. Then I'll let it cool off and take it apart and put the Bowman ring on. I'll take tach readings and post them.

Wonder how long it will take the Bowman ring to break in? Should I run it rich for a few tanks with the new ring? I've been running 40:1 mix.

This is so fun!!!
