WHAT ABOUT THE LEAF BLOWER ENGINES? ARE THEY THE SAME AS A TRIMMER, AND COULD THEY BE USED?
I HAVEN`T SEEN ANYTHING MENTIONED ABOUT THESE. RCM243

We talk about blowers all the time.

Some convert rather easy.

Some have unusual carbs that must be replaced. We usually use some kind of chainsaw carb anyway.

most are the same as trimmer engines.....but thats not nessarily true for the commreical grade blowers...i.e. still, echo etc

Bill,
Many blower engines, such as Echo turn backwards(clockwise). Many are heavier then trimmers or saws.

Dave

While Dave is correct, I have converted many blower engines and they all run fine CCW on electronic ignitions.

I have read also that some blower engines are balanced better than string trimmer engines. Maybe it is because they run full throttle for long perids of time. Capt,n

Captain,
A poorly balanced motor strapped to your back is not good. They all run fine on electronic ignition of course.
