I wanted to know if anyone is fimilar with the tecumseh 49 cc engine. It appears to run clockwise on the magneto side from a pic of it at tuslaenginewarehouse.

Is this a convertable engine?

To be convertible you just need to think about weight to power ratio.
If you want to run int in opposite direction just re plave the wheel with out using the position locator that comes inserted in the shaft, but be sure to bolt it correctly and have resistant threads in your prop hub to hold the whell.
Since the longshaft is conical at this place the wheel will stay in place.
I did it with a 22 cc and it ran well.
And if you want to use a ignition, the better.


Any pictures would be nice!!!

I have one just have not finished it yet. I plan on using electronic ignition on it so direction of rotation is easily changed. Doesn't seem to be too heavy. I also have the 98cc and 138cc engine I'm playing with.
