Do any of the members here recognize or have any background (even anecdotal) with a Roper 70?
This is the first and only one I've seen.

I bought this one years ago online and was severely disappointe to learn that it wasn't really NIB as advertised. Needless to after determining that the seller had disappeared into cyberspace I put it in a box and stored it in my garage for the past several years. Lesson learned...

After reading through the conversions forum I'm thinking this may still have potential as a gas / glow conversion.
The manual indicates it's a 69cc discplacement. It appears to be a reed valve induction under the carb.
It is heavy (my scale only goes to 5 lbs) hence my intention to eliminate the giant coil and flywheel.

Who has some experience with one of these?

Thanks
