RE: another darn ryobi post (ryobi performance modification, analysis and comparison)
I dont understand the question. This engine dosent have mounting lugs like a regular glow engine has. so then from there you would either have to weld on lugs or fabricate some sort of mount that would bolt to the engine to accomplish this. Where would you attach this mount? the engine that I have dosent have the flywheel shroud mounting lugs on it. I suppose if you have these lugs on your engine as I know many of them do then I dont see why you cant fabricate a mount to mount off of the front of this engine and would have lugs like a regulat glow engine. That being said it seems to me it would be far more easy to fabricate a carb spacer out of a flat piece of aluminum, than it would be to fabricate this elaborite mount. i dont know that mounting it off of the cylinder holddown bolts would work well or not. the thing that would scare me about that method is the fact that there is only two bolts to work with and very small area to bolt to. it may be possible that with only one bolt per side the vibration would be hard to control to where it would not flex the mount and cause it to crack from work hardening. I will have to stare at my parts for a bit to ponder this.
If you get a tach i would recomend the glowbee tach. I really do like mine.
