Default RE: Lets do a 40cc ryobi conversion!

I thought that too....the carb dosent appear to be anything specail...so that boggles my mind too.I was wrong...It appears that the two "barrels" open with the carb at every settig, not just at wide open.Maybe the carb is set rich, and when you open the throttle "fresh" air (through the barrels)mixes in with the rich mixture creating a epa friendly exzaust reading..[sm=bananahead.gif][sm=bananahead.gif] yea, i know that sounds silly.
Sears sold a 55cc craftsman saw up untill about a year ago...I actually bought one and converted it. Awsome power, EZ to convert and easy to get parts for.Tonight a asked a guy in the lawn and garden dept why they stoped making/selling them. He told me the epa said they ran "to dirty" so they had to pull 'em. That sucks. I see gravel trucks everyday spewing loads of black **** into the air and the epa dosent seem to be to conserned with making them retro fit some kind of smog system on those...but chainsaws?
ok Im done *****in now.....

Snap it....I ve got a lot of prodjects gong on right now...If someone wanted to buy this , I might sell it under one condition, they would have to add thier E.I and post prop readings, thrust, etc, etc. There are too many people intrested in this post to not finish this.
I believe this will make really good power considering the compression is outragious, for sure.


Bat guy- maybe Ill have to get in touch with you about a carb.
