Wow! Got the engine started with a Hobbico 180 starter with 16 volt set up. VERY powerful engine! A couple questions though, I am using the stock carb and the fuel inlet tube faces forward toward the propeller. Also, the throttle is positioned vertically, so I would need a bellcrank to run it on my TF GS P-51. Does anyone make a twister type manifold that will position the carb differently? There is a pulse hole on the crankcase and this is the only way I can position the carb. How does the HDB 6B work with this engine?
So the hobbico 180 worked for you?
I've got a 31cc ryobi that I thought a hobbico 90 would be able to turn over - no dice - at all. Even on 14.8v it didn't have the guts to turn over my ryobi. So how hard did the 180 work to get your 45cc running?
I started mine with a "90" but I had a big 12V truck battery and that was about all the starter could handle.
