Our club has bought about 10 of these little jewels in the past summer, I have converted two. You will not need a new carb, just take the little clicker thing out of throttle arm, very easy conversion. But don't expect a lot of power, turns a 16xx8 at about 7400 rpm with nothing added except an intake extension. You will have to use a dremen cut off wheel to cut slots in the needles so that you can tweak it out, or make a little tool to fit over them. Oh, and we opend the exhaust a little, but still use the stock box, very, very quiet engine. But not as much power as a .60 Fox, or some other engine of less quality, like an OS, or Super Tiger.

One of our members has posted some about his experience with one an Ultimate, but I think it is really not enough power.

But if you want a cheap gas engine, to get your feet wet, go for it.

The Homelite 32 cc conversion is the strongest I have had, It took my Sukhoi at about 16lbs, unlimited vertical, until the cheap controls horns snapped in the cold, and well... that's the end of that story.

Blowing leaves is an excellant way to break it in anyway.
