Well I took off the fly wheel ,coil, and point bracket,cut off the other shaft and lost 2 1/2 lbs. so the engine is now under the 5 pounds we talked about but then I have to add ign,muffler and prop hub.the tapered shaft on the front is going to work out good as the cam for the points was just a sleeve and came right off of the crank shaft so I have a lot more to work with and I won't be worried about cutting off the threads and drilling it.
Now I have a bigger problem it looks like I'm going to end up with a good engine here and I don't have anything to put it in Unless I put it in my 1/4 scale Waco which now has a G62 in it.One thought the auction here is coming up the 18th of this month Oh what should I buy???
I will post more pictures and up date as soon as possible.
Thanks
