Hey Leo, Was looking on e-bay yesterday; not one Shindaiwa engine. There must be a reason . Anyone who has one keeps it. I really like mine, havn't finished it yet but will soon. Chet
I didn't mention that the reason that I first decided to convert the Shindaiwa to model airplane use is that the stock mag will generate enough spark when hand propping to start. Most of the other brands won't unless they are old enough to have breaker points .
It's a real sweet engine.
