Well, I am well on my way to converting a 34cc and a 40 cc B&S four stroke. Finally got the flywheels off, had them shaved down(Thanks Cecil!), cut off the weedwhacker mounting flanges,got my Wacker prop hubs and today I bought some 1/4 in. aluminum from Boeing Surplus to make the mounting backplate. If I may,however, I would like to ask a few questions.

1. Carb spacer. It sounds like the Ryobi spacer would be short enough to get the carb inside my Fokker DVII. Does anyone know the part # for that spacer? The local Ag shop didn't want to dig through all of their parts boxesto find one. Or better yet , is anyone in the R/ C biz making an even shorter spacer?

2. I took the carb spring out of one of the Walbro carbs. In another reply to this subject it said not to do that. Reasons why? I hate to have that contstant load on throttle servo.

3. This may be a stupid question, but , here goes. The prop hub is threaded the same direction as prop rotation and there is no key. Is there any problem with the hub coming loose when starting the engine?

Thanks for any and all replies. I hope to test run one or both of the engines (with the stock carb spacers) as soon as I make the backplates and if our weather stays this nice.
