Default RE: Weed wacker motors?

one of my next projects will be the 18cc on gas/glow and seeing what kind of power I can get out of it, there isn't much out there on that engine on a conversion standpoint since it's not the lightest or most powerful engine, but that might change on gas/glow, there's mention of one in the gas/glow thread, but they apparently never got started on it.

I have one of the 18cc engines with prop and stock tank and stock ignition and it's just under 4 pounds, it has to be lighter after you get rid of the stock ignition and just have a glow adapter in (I just made one for it today), I'll check out what the weight of it is after the ignition is removed and with a glow adapter ready to run, probably have that info within the hour...

ready to run on glow is around 2 pounds 7 ounces without any aluminum removal, which is probably another couple ounces, if you really tried you could get it close to 2 pounds, I'll work on it oveer the next couple weeks, see where I get...
