I stopped by a landscape and equipment dealer who was also a repair center for various small engine companies. I bought two homelite 40cc two strokes brand new for 50.00. They were sent to this dealer by homelite to convert from a heavy duty commercial trimmer to an ice auger. They decided that the power band was set to high and went with a larger long stroke engine instead. I had a friend cinvert them to RC and gave him one for his trouble. Its a bit heavy at almost 5 lbs but its strong and smooth. It has the full crank so it should last.Repair centers are a good place to stop. Just ask them to set aside the nonrepairables. Many times that simply means a carb overhaul! Time is money.
