I scored an engine I didn't even know existed. An Echo 30cc from a string trimmer I believe it is. We have an Echo/Stihl dealer that let's us go through his junk pile of engines and sells them to us, and we've really done well at it. This engine wasn't in a machine; just lying on the ground all by it's lonesome. It is the same basic size and shape as the Echo 21 through 26cc engines, but it is 30cc.

I'm excited about it as I think it will make a nice, lightweight, powerful conversion engine. I have one Echo 30cc from a chain saw, but it has a crankcase mounted reed valve intake. I have another from a different chainsaw, but it has to have the crankcase cut out of the saw and a backplate made for it. This one is "slam bam, thank you ma'am" easy to convert just like the other smaller Echos.

Anyway, here it is in all it's (dirty) glory. I pulled the muffler off and it looks great inside!
