those little guys are around 20-22cc if I remember right, probably not a big powerhouse, but they aren't too heavy

looks like the 25cc engine Marine Specialties used to sell for 99.99, don't waste your time with them.

I also have an old sears/ craftsman weed wacker engine i'm considering using. Its a kioritz 21.2cc engine that has idk if its points or a magneto thats in the same housing as the recoil which is in the back. It also is about a good pound less then the mcculloch engine. I can probably knock another half pound off. if anyone has any input on this engine let me know lol. thanks

I had 2 one of those,one with points and one without. They were originaly designed for points and some have the factory cdi conversion on it. The cranks have a cam shape ground into them for points, but no points.

Not a bad engine for a weedwacker but for anything else its low on power, the angled plug doesn't help with high rpm power you need for a boat application. But it is a better choice than the mcculloch because of the chrome bore and steel rod vs macs plain bore and aluminum rod.
