RE: Poulan 42cc & JB weld now
Thanks, but I don't want to spend the money for Ch ignition system. The coil mag pack on my Hommie 32cc if flatter than coilpac on the 42cc, and therfor might fit on the cylinder in the usual place if there was anything to attach too. I could make up a simple bracket to hold it, but how to attach to the cylinder fins. Contemplating using some of that ...... what do you call the gray epoxy that supposed to be like metal.... oh Yeh, JB weld. Anybody ever tried any on a cylinder head befor, wonder if it would hold up. Of course have to use only a little on a small nut, between the fins so as to effect the cooling as little as posible. After that I would have to retime the flywheel. because the coil pickups would be about 90degrees from where they should be, but cutting another keyway in the crank wouldn't be too hard for my brother in law (machinist). Say guys if you ever have the chance to marry into a family with a machinist, who is an alright guy....... jump at it. He is great addition, to my beautiful wife, sometime I wonder who I love more.
The other guys in the club, myself included, have been working on converting 25cc Poulans from leaf blowers @ $50. But we are finding them not as powerful as we hoped. One is currently on an G.B. Ultimate Bipe, swinging 15x9 prop around 7k. At full bore, it flys, but limited vertical, looks pretty in the air, but still hole burner, though he did burn some worms the other day doing an inverted pass. Another is on a big Robin, and flys it very nice I was told, but didn't see it myself.
So any thoughts on JB weld on a cylinder head?
