The poulan conversions are light. I'm getting $$$$$ together to purchase one myself.

I've never had a gasser before. I'm only about $50 short of getting one right now. It's going to be a Poulan Pro 42cc with electronic ignition.

From what I've read-- the conversions run strong,, they are MUCH cheaper than a BME or 3W or ZDZ. Some are even lighter than "dedicated" airplane engines.

Call your local small engine repair shops. Call every one for 30 miles from your house.

Look for these engines to convert:

Poulan Pro 260 42cc--2.4cubic inches
Poulan Farmhand 2150 or 2175 46cc or 2.7 inches

Others will be able to tell you some other brands to look for. Homelite makes some convertable engines in the 45cc and 33cc range, I believe.

Husqvarna makes good engines that people have converted.

Stihl is another good one.
