RE: Shorten the stroke. Good idea?
Hi,
Answered your other thread also. Kioritz/Echo 23.6cc is a really neat engine. More power than a Homelite 25cc, and a good bit lighter. You are going to want to gut the exhaust and provide two 1/2" i.d. outlet tubes, and install about a 10mm carb. Then if you install a CH Ignitions electronic ignition and optimize the timing, you are ready to go. Don't expect quite the numbers I'm quoting however, as mine are all ported and thoroughly hot rod "massaged".
If you want to get into hopping up the Homelites or Kioritz engines, do a search in this forum as there is a lot of info posted both by myself and others.
