that craftsman is a McCulloch 32, I haven't seen any of them like that, they're usually the Poulan thats like the Ryobi being rear carb and exhaust
if you're interested I have a prop hub made up for the mac for using the flywheel, I swapped it over to gas/glow and just made a one piece hub for that purpose... I also have the trimmed mag mount plate if you're interested...
I believe that Stihl is a 25cc, there's been a couple of them on here lately, I have one, I never did get the Mikuni carb on that thing to work even after a rebuild... but I just put it together the way it came apart which could have been my problem...
Thank you!
That Crapsman has got to be the loudest most obnoxiuos weedwhacker I have ever seen!!!!! I had it running for a few mins and my ears were ringing for ages and my hands went numb!!!! As usual the previous owner messed with the mixture settings and wrecked it and that's why I ended up with it. A couple of mins on the mixture screws and it runs really well if not loud as hell! As for the Stihl, that was dropped on the floor or ran over by the previous owner and it broke off the front cover. I need to get it to my work and have the cover spot welded so I can see if it works ok before spending time and money on it to convert into an airplane engine. It also needs the exhaust port welded and re machined as the previous owner ran it with a missing exhaust bolt and the muffler wore away the exhaust port! Thanks for the offer on the prop hub but I am going to run both these engines on CDI and will machine up my own prop hub to suit. The Mac is probably going to end up in a boat so I will have to machine up a hub / flywheel and a water jacket. I'm going to machine the cooling fins off the head and weld a water jacket around it.
