Weed Eater Conversion
Guys,
I need some help. I thought of converting an engine from a used weed eater for RC use. The weed eater model number is LT7500, and I am having trouble finding engine size and specification information on it. The walbro carb has WT299 stamped on it, and my best guess is that it is a 18-20cc. It is incredibly light, and I am hoping someone out there can help me out with where to go for a prop hub and EI conversion parts for it.
HELP!
Thanks

RE: Weed Eater Conversion
what brand is the weedeater?
look up CH ignitions for EI conversion. prop hubs can be found at alot of places but if the engine is not a commonly converted on you will have to have one made for you by either doing it yourself or getting a hold of someone with a lathe.
