EXCELLENT guy to deal with - VERY reasonable prices , AND excellent products .
( watch out though ... he LOVES to talk - )

( oh and without sounding smart***** - a chainsaw does not run backwards , its output shaft is simply on the other side
) and with certain chainsaws , you COULD even use choice of sides
Anyway ... is there any chance of showing some close-ups of how you mounted the pull start so it stays on there ?


Oh and about the prop ---- a lower pitch will allow the engine to come up to R's , whereas the higher pitch strains the engine and does not allow it to max out ( in addition to that it probably also is over heating a little - if you have a temp gun , test it ) Also , burning more fuel than needed which might cause fouling )

One more thing ... might want to contact your local lawnmower repair shop and see about possibly some new ring(s) for it if its that old ( would give you better HP ) and they're fairly cheap - usually around $6.00

And dontcha just LOVE it about the options of "pusher" props ? ( ) I thought about using a chainsaw from an old Husky I have , but never got around to it ... GREAT idea though ! Sounds more and more like you really put a lot of thought into this before you did anything . GREAT thoughts create great things . Hats off to ya .
