CKangaroo, where's London Mills? Darn Illinois weather, you're right though. It's either so hot you get the glunk, or so cold it's hard to move your fingers.
Well we are inbetween thousands of acres of corn to our North, South and West, and then a few thousand acres of beans to our east!LOL Actually I am not to far from you. London Mills is about 30 miles straight west of Peoria and sits right on the Spoon River. We are the home of the Spoon River Scenic drive if you have been on that. Our Club is located in Maquon, Illnois which also sits on the Spoon River, and our flying field sits on a hill and overlooks the river valley. Hence our clubs name is Spoon River Flyers.
A fellow club member and friend is the one who made my Ryobi conversion parts for me. He turned my prop hub for me, and also took the fins down on the flywheel. I also figured out later that my throttle arm was not going to open all the way with the mount I built...so I also had him make me a spacer to shim out the carb a little which I have yet to install. I am not sure how much it will hurt or help performence, but it must be a fairly common issue as I see
www.wackerengines.com also sell a spacer for the carb.
