RE: Homelite 30cc test
Partial translation of post #13:
José,
You story, the motor is one that remove of a cortadora of cesped to tansa, or desmalezadora. It is a HOMELITE 185, that serian 1.85 ci or 30.33cc (buy it in January when estube in buenos aires) The tests estaticas that did they gave me this result: With a helice of wood (type Master
Airscrew) 20x8 arrive at 4800rpm With an APC 18x6W to 7000 rpm
These tests I did them before they explained me that one must change the carburetor, to cover an orifice that has the escape (that serves of descompresor) and to change the original escape. I it qu ehice went to cover that orifice and I emptied the interior of the original escape, but, the pipe at the outset change it of posicion and I put it to raz of the sheet by the internal side, that is to say, the pipe does not enter inside the camara of the escape. On the other hand, does not carry the lit to magneto, I was removed it and I put it one electronico, I put it the same one that uses the motor one ZDZ of 40cc, since say that that of magneto generates many interferences. For my to understand, the motor one iria very well in an acrobatico low wing of 1,75 mt of importance, or in a biplano from 1,55 to 1,60 (segun, if is acrobatico or not) I Expect serve you the informacion.. And to fly, that in the Patagonia there is a great deal of wind brother! !!! Sergio
