Default RE: Walbro conversion for OS 160FX

So why not just keep it on glow fuel? Price of the fuel?
It seems it lost power/rpm being converted to gasoline, but did become more fuel efficent.
To have the same power as it did running on the glow fuel, would it need to be a bigger displacement?
Like a converted Moki 2.10 on gasoline would equal a OS 1.60FX on glow fuel?

My OS 1.60FX on glow fuelstomped what my 26cc gasser would ever do, but it drank more then twice the fuel.
So going by the rpm numbers in this thread I feel that the converted 1.60 is about equal to a 32 - 35 'ish gasser.

Is there that much of a vibration differance? Do they run exactly like on glow ( smooth ), but only using gasoline?
