This is a easy to make motor mount. Made from 1/8 303 alum. Can be mounted up or down.

Nice looking mount box car! I've been doodling with one of these engines for several months and have not been completely satisfied with the mounting options. Yours is clean and fairly simple....let us know how it holds up under running/vibration. I've modified the head for glow and tried to get it to run well with the original carburetor, but I'm about to give up on the carb and install another conventional Walbro with dual needles....tired of removing the fixed jet to re-drill it each time I need to tweak.
Have you run yours yet, and do you have any tach readings?

Gary

Yes, I am most interested in that, I have one in the shed. Right now I have an equall number of airframes and engines, if I convert this one I need to find an equall airframe. I am thinking Ballsa USA Taube or maybe a Neuport or Spad.

Thanks Gary, If you would like I could post a picture of the mount off the motor for a better look.

Ken, that would be helpful for a number of us who are tinkering with this low cost alternative 4 stroke. Thanks!

Gary

On the center mounting screw you will need about a 1/4" spacer. Can't make out the numbers on the print so here they are. The plate is 4x7.5", the legs are 3" long and 1" wide, the center mount is about 1" high.

Hope this helps

Ken,

Thanks for the additional pictures and template! I am going to give this one a try.

Gary

Gary, what carb. did you end of using? and were do you buy them.
Ken

Ken,

I haven't tried it yet, but am going to try a Walbro WA127A. It is a 2 needle model with a 9.53mm venturi (24 cast in the carb opening). This is not made for 4 strokes so I will tap the carb for an external pulse for the pump and hook that up to the crankcase breather tube through a "T" fitting. This will give the + and - pulses needed for this type of carb. The original carb on this engine is nonadjustable and has a 9mm venturi. I doubt that the WA127 carb is still in production, but I'm sure there are other Walbro and/or Zama carbs with the right venturi size and adjustability etc. I bought a box of carbs off the famous _ -_ _ _ auction site that were new "old stock" for just a few dollars each. Check the auction sites and auction site stores for Walbro carbs to find a good deal then look up the carb number on the Walbro site to see if it might be what you need.

Some guys who are running these engines on gas with magneto ignition are using the stock carburetor with some success.
