Ken, thanks for your input. I'm starting to think this might be a better paper weight than anything else.

Too bad really, as it looks pretty stout on the
inside. Pretty beefy components. Would the carb be worth salvaging?
Also, whats a better motor: Homelite, Ryobi, or Poualn? I've heard lots of good things about the Ryobi motors and Homelite, although it sounds like the conn rod in the ryobi is riveted? I plan on using my gasser in a 5th scale Pica WACO somday so I'm not looking for vertical or anything.
Thanks again!
P.S. For curiosity sake, is this a 46 that I have?
