Check out the gas/glow thread here in the engineconversions.Theres to much to explain but after you read just the first few,maybe 6 pages youll get the idea.heres a pic of my 31cc ryobi i just did.Cut out center of flywheel,trued up in lathe,then screwed hub on.You can see the magnet in the flywheel hub.I also rounded the cylinder for a more airplane look.Total weight as in the pic with ign is 3-1/4 lbs.I would really suggest you go to the gas/glow thread to help with a decision.But it might be easier in your position right now just to get a ccw engine,what size are you looking for or what size and style of plane are you going to put it on?
I've got a 31cc Ryobi
and i'm looking to put it on my Lanier Stinger 120
I had at one time a Quadra 50 on it, but traded it for something else.
Wish I had the Q50 back now!!
Trying to get all this done without spending a ton of money.
Thanks DC
P.S. I read the first 10 pages and last 10 pages of that thread on gas/glow.
Sounds like all I need is the spark/glowplug converter , and some glow fuel to mix with gas.
I'm curious if its a bad idea to mix flow fuel that has a higher content of oil in it with the gas.
Will that hurt anything?
