I'm looking at the Toro my self, and this is what I found.

At $155 I'm not sure it's worth doing my self.
He ports them and tunes them for RC.
All you have to do is bolt them on.

RE: good conversion engine???
Hello,
Most of us convert engines for radio controlled airplanes. The engines will work in a plane, boat or car application. You just need to know what sort of drive system is needed. Such as a prop, gearbox or shaft and screw for a boat. Boats and cars work better with a clutch. You want to retain the fly wheel cooling fins and plastic shroud for boats and cars. Of course boats can use a water jacket instead of air cooling. The pull starter would also be helpful with starting surface vehciles.

RE: good conversion engine???
well this is what i have right now. a 25cc weedeater engine with a walbro WA207A carburetor.
i took it apart to clean it and i broke one of the "tabs" that goes over the inlet valve.
i have a feeling that it is a reed and need a new better carb or a rebuild kit.
i am looking for advice on engine/carb selection
ps. i am planning on doing something like this...
(ITS not mine it is DR. Honda's)

Hello,
Unfortunatly, you either have to provide a better description or good pictures of it. Weedeater did make a rear intake reed valve engine a few years ago. Model XT-90 etc. The muffler is held on with springs and has a round cylinder port. Is this the engine that you have?
