A friend of mine works in management for a small engine distributor nearby. He was able to score me a gasser engine for free. The information I was given is this as a Redmax 26cc. The casing has Komatsu/Zenoah stamped on it. This is a brand new engine and has never had a drop of gas in it.

I removed the red plastic parts and this is what I have so far. Has anyone ever dealt with this brand of engine and do you think it would be a good engine for conversion? I really want to build a gasser of some type and a free engine, well that's just too good to pass up.

From what I found by using google, it seems to be a very good engine and the power to weight ratio was excellent. Hope somebody here has some info and has dealt with one of these before. One thing I've already noticed is there are no needles for adjustment on the carb. Would this be a major issue?

Thanks for any info.
