Default Stihl 56CC gas/glow conversion - need feedback
OK guys, here it is.....



I am converting this engine for an airboat. Please no flaming for trashing a perfectly good saw...but I had a saw already and got this from a pawnshop for $20 I want to convert it to gas/glow (thanks for the 85+ pages on that guys).

First Q is "Do you think this is a good gas/glow candidate?"

Second Q is "Does anyone have a simple idea of how to drop the carb prophylactic??" I do not have a machine shop []

Third Q is "What is the smallest prop dia x pitch I could go with??" I want max R's and thrust, but low CG as well.

I will ask any gas/glow conversion Q's in the appropriate thread [8D]
