Mike, Edwin & Allan,
Thank you all very much for your posts - appreciated [sm=thumbup.gif]

Unfortunately I don't even have a drill press, although I know I should buy one. I doubt this months budget will stretch to it, what with the conversion parts needed. The good news is that I've been put in touch with a guy who has a small machine shop (a friend of a friend) so I hope to see him next week for fly-wheel modification.

Mike, I noticed that some conversion companies offered the carb spacer while others didn't so it obviously depends on the carb - thanks for that tip. If I can make one from laminated ply then that's cool, I'll just wait until I get the bigger Walbro.

Allan, very neat starter mechanism!

I just need to get in touch with Wacker Engines now; the e-amil obviously isn't working so a phone-call it shall be...

Have a good weekend!
Steve
