Moki 1.80 & 2.10 conversion to gas
I have been on a mission lately to get rid of some of my fuel sucking glow engines and replace them with gas engines, then it hit me...why not convert some of them to gas. I have an OS 160fx, a Moki 1.80, and a Moki 2.10. How difficult and or expensive is it to convert these engines? I would be grateful if someone would point me towards the parts and instructions to convert these engines. Thanks in advance for any help.

Never mind, I found my answer. It is about as expensive to convert as it is to sell the glow, and buy a gasser. Thanks anyway guys.

RE: Moki 1.80 & 2.10 conversion to gas
One of the benefits that I've found to converting the big glow engines is that I now have a big displacement engine that has beam mounts. My converted Super Tigre G-3250 was a cinch to swap into my Hellcat since it already had an engine mount that accomodated beam mount engines. I hate setting up standoffs, but that's just me. Plus, the big Tigre has sick power. It swings a 20 X 8 at 7800 RPM which is more than my DLE 30 will do. I got the engine at a swap meet for $50. With the cost of the conversion I have $200 in it. I found an ST S3000 at a swap meet later that year for $30.
The big glow engines are going for pennies on the dollar these days and if you can get one for a song like I did, the conversions are worth it.

I have five ST3000 and thought of converting some since I only have one boat. Heard C&H sold the kits but I can't find anything on the net about the how to. Thanks to anyone that can steer me in the right direction. George
