the BME 55 RTF, with ignition, battery, the whole noodle, is suppose to weigh in at 2 lbs 2-4 ounces! with everything
This figure is unrealistic. Think about it... A YS 120 weighs 32 ozs. or 2lbs. and is considerably smaller...
C&H Ignition weighs 3.7ozs.
Sparkplug weighs 1.4ozs.
Down tube exhaust deflector typically weighs 6ozs.
H9's aluminum engine mount weighs 5.75ozs.
Battery and switch typically 4-5ozs.
All this is close to 22ozs. or 1lb.-6oz. Not much left for the reciprocating assembly, crankcase, cylinder and bearings...
Most likely the BME 55 Extreme weighs 2lbs. 2-4ozs. stripped.
