Default RE: Weedeater Featherlite Conversion

They have rather small ports and are not the most powerful gas engine around. The hub and back plate required is the same one used with the Homelite. I converted a 21 cc trimmer. I put a much larger Homelite 25 stock caarb on it and still, it was nowhere near as powerful as the Homey 25. You want to shoot for around 7,000 rpm. Try a 14-8 and see what you get. It's been a while with mine and I sold it some time ago.

Enjoy,

Jim
