RE: DOES ANYBODY DO A SEARCH BEFORE POSTING???????
KB,
You apparently didn't hit enter when you typed in 4 stroke. I just did that search and got 13 threads. Three were all about the Ryobi 26cc 4-stroke, two were about the Honda GX series, one was about the Shindaiwa, and one was a general thread. As you pointed out, there were 4 (not 50) threads having nothing to do with 4-stroke trimmer conversions.
I also know there are many more threads here about the Ryobi as I've participated in and started numerous ones.
C Watkins,
What I would have them do is decide what information they are looking for. Try a few searches relating to the brand of engine and read the ones that apply. Many people have weighed in about most every topic or problem. You are correct, there is a wealth of information on RCU, but most of it is in numerous, redundant places already.
Enough of my venting. I just hate to see people ask if a particular engine is flyable and someone else say "no" without knowing what they are talking about. A little research would give them the answer.
I hate being negative so that's it for me
Doug
