Default Stihl 22.5cc engine

Just got "kinda" done with this 22.5cc stihl. This is one SWEET little engine! I had it pretty much done,but didnt have another electronic ignition for it,but couldnt wait to hear it run on the stand after how great it ran in the trimmer I took it out of. So,I turned down the flywheel alittle and made a different hub to use with the flywheel. Glad I left the magneto mounts on to put my hall sensor on too. I even left on the pull starter so I could start it without the EI(how great is that,lol). This litte stihl is so far probably the smoothest running engine I own. I wish I could keep the flywheel and pull starter on and stuff,but it just weighs too much with all that stuff. But it sure will be fun to play with till I get another EI. Oh,and I used the steel stud method in my hub this time too.........and I like it better I think. And I angled the downtubes on the muffler back alittle on this muffler which I really like too....looks cooler

Yep,I like this motor so much I just had to get on here and show it off,lol. Now if I just had a plane to put it in.

Have a nice day!
