RE: Is this Homelite/Ryobi weed-wacker good for a conversion?
The carb and muffler are on the side which is OK.
Is there a good way to make a mount for it? Can you put a flat aluminum plate accross the back of the engine and retain it to the engine with the four backcover bolts?
The Current chain saws can use the Hanger 9 beam mounts. You make an adapter plate from the horizontal split area retainer bolts on the case to adapt to a Ultra Stick 120 motor mount.
Can you make a prop driver hub for the front?
Is the Magneto cil held on by the case of the engine itself?
