RE: Homelite chain saw 33cc
I did a 33cc homelite from a Ranger saw last winter that I got from Cummins I believe. Anyway, super easy conversion and it was my first too! I used Whacker Engines mounts, mounting ears, velocity stack, prop hub and muffler and all were a perfect fit. I am extremely pleased with this motor-I run a Zoar 18x6 and it could take more prop. As mentioned, it has tons of power and runs absolutely flawlessly-much better, more reliable and smoother than a friends Brillelli 46 if you can believe that.
When I did the conversion, I took the motor 100% apart just to look at everything and reduce weight etc. before putting it back together, I cleaned and polished it and it looked very, very nice. Anyway, the powerstroke 33cc is a great motor-I have another sitting on the shelf-brand new saw that I got for $29 on ebay!!!!!!
