Well I went to the auction Sunday and A Sig Morrisey Bravo followed me home.
It has A chain saw engine on it that is suppose to be A 42cc it is swinging A 20-8 wood prop and seems to really run great the carb on it is A 12.5 mm walbro it has the fly wheel turned down and the origional coil. The one that put this together also graffted A spring starter on the back of it.I will try to post some pictures.
please help ID this if you can.
Thanks

from the looks of it may be a homelite chainsaw motor-my auto 150 homelite saw looks like that motor with the carb in the front and it also looks like they cut the housing that the coil is mounted to.The saw is red

also is the carb mount made from rubber?The one on my saw is

Yes the carb mount is made of rubber.
is yours a 42cc? what carb do you have and how does it run for you?
Thanks

It looks like maybe the previous owner may have rope started it by the looks of the way the prop adapter is made. It may be a good one for CD igniton and loose some weight too. Capt,n

Yes doesn't that prop hub look nice

I think he had A issue with the prop hub staying on and did not have any other way to tighen it.(I think he used A pair of channel locks or vice grips on the hub). I found this out when I tryed to start it up and the prop hub came flying off.Much to my surprise I found A wavy lock washer in between the fly wheel and prop hub and there was no lock tight on the threads at all. So I took out the washer and put red lock tight on the threads put A rope in the cylinder and tightened up the hub and it now works great.It does have A cowl and spring starter.
If I do any thing to it at all I will run it on gas/glow and loose A lot of weight. But right now the way it runs it has more power then I really need.

I thought maybe a area on the prop adapter was roughened up so when a rope was wrapped around it ...the rope would not slip too much. Done right.....a 1/4 dia rope wrapped around a hub will give you chance to spin the engine over pretty fast. One way to get a engine started when spark or whatever is not just right. Once running some fine tunning is needed better starting & running. Capt,n

capt,n I use to do that when I had them on the engine stand until I figured out that my 1/2" electric drill with A starter cone on the front of it was A hole lot better.I had made up a large washer with A notch in it (like the old old lawn mowers had to attach the rope) I would put the washer between the fly wheel and prop hub.It worked pretty darn good.I think you could possible do that to A engine mounted on your plane as long as it did not have A cowling and if you had some one to hold it.Might be A little ruff on the fuse though?
Thanks to all
