Default RE: HELP! Homelite HBIOO 25-30cc leaf blower engine Glow conversion.

48cc twin made from two 23.6cc Echo engines and a custom crankcase. No "vibration damper". Two inches from crankcase to prop mounting face. RPM's from 7000 to 8500 depending on prop. You can put a glass of beer on the fuselage at any rpm, and it hardly jiggles the surface of the beer!

Yeah I know, it's a twin and they usually have less vibration, but my Homelite singles also don't use flywheels and don't have any problems.

But hey, if it makes you feel better to run a magneto, go for it! It's all fun!
