kris I was not calling anyone a liar it is just that alot of people will post rpm data they have heard of and not even have the motor to quote real #'s, this is all I was trying to prevent.I did buy the motor for this reason and all I have into it is 10.00 saw 120.00 ignition and a few bucks for aluminum and a piece of phenolic material so I have a engine that cost me about 135.00 and the only tools I have is a standard bench grinder with a concrete cutting wheel and I use my father inlaws lathe that is about 100 years old but it works, the only reason I started this thread was because alot of people tell me that a conversion are to heavy and under powered this really had nothing to do with cost I just wanted to prove it could be done and I think that even if I am a couple of hundred shy of the others well I am a tad lighter to but this does not really mater to me is what does mater is when people say they are to heavy and underpowered I can say no they are not .

ps look what I can do
