Default Stihl - My First Conversion is to begin

I know before i can ask for any help i need to let you guys know what im using. Its an engine off an older Stihl FS 66 Trimmer. I dont know the displacement - anyone know?


Would like to keep it a gas burner, and use stock ignition, but the coil is large and heavy. Where do you guys get those tiny ones im seeing in other posts? And magnetos? Can I use a tiny hub instead of flywheel to reduce weight?


I wanna do this right! Money is also tight but can spend a bit - especially if i can find a Pitts muffler for my exhaust [8D]
Also-cant wait to see the look on my wife's face when i tell her i can make a weedeater fly!
