Hey, i just got a yardmachines 2800M weed wacker with a 31cc engine. ive got pretty much everything ready to go except the mounts and hub and was wondering what brand of engine is used in the yardmachines weed wackers? the shop that i got it from thought it was a ryobi (the carb is attached to the backplate) but they werent 100% sure if that was correct or not. does anyone know what engine this is? another thing, i was hand flipping this engine and couldnt turn it fast enogh to get a spark. when i turned it with a drill, it had very good spark. because i dont have an electric starter, i was wondering what i could do as far as mods so i can hand start this engine. (i dont want to use EI b/c my budget is pretty tight right now)
any input would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
