Unfortunately these two blowers came with the Zama. What problems were they encountering?

Iv'e been busy with the saw today and managed to get the engine down from 4lb 10oz stock straight out of the blower to 3lb 2oz with the glow conversion with stock muffler, propshaft (steel tube and steel washers) and carb. Now out with the dremel this weekend to see how much more I can remove. What is the minimum weight that anyone has got these engines down to?

Ammend the above! unfortunately I have just been told by Whackerengines that you cannot run a Homelite without the flywheel as the flywheel dampens the resonance from the crankshaft! Without it the crankshaft will break! DOH! Back up to 3lb 14oz!
