Hi all guys!
After a tedious search, I bought a Homelite 240 chainsaw for 60€. Now, the obvious questions is, how do I convert it?
I've not been able to look inside it, so I don't know its size. Its 3" wide and 6.3" high from top to bottom side of the flywheel, I supose its in the 30-40cc range. The carb is a Walbro, mounte on the bottom left side of the engine, seen from hte prop to the back of it.
Weell, I though of doing the following evil & wicked things to the lil' beast:
1- Choping the rear shaft that holds the centrifugal clutch (I don't know how to remove it, perhaps using an extractor?)
2- Obviously, removing the metal piece that holds the chainsaw's sword.
3- Making a new shaft and/or flywheel so I can screw a prop in front of it, which after all its what this is all about
4- Removing the noise dampers of the exhaust, or making a tuned pipe for it (in the rare case I have the time and find sheet metal to do so).
Anyone tried this one? Apart from wackerengines and Scott Baldridge's page, do you know of others where I could buy the items I needed? Tips, experiences, comments... alll are very welcome
