Finished up the new Homelite 30cc. It has the newer cylinder with larger transfer ports, plus I did a bunch of hopping up. (Porting, etc.) But I kept the port timing fairly reasonable this time. It will be interesting to see how it runs. Won't have time now to test run; maybe in about a week.

It came out kind of nice looking I think.

Looks good.

Give us a report on how it runs

Well, FLATHEAD is still around and busy. My wife celebrated her 50th anniversy, and insisted that I be a part of it. That's over, so now I am considering getting back to work. I have the "RYOBI" with the converted rod ready to go again, and a 30 cc POULAN with a Bowman ring to try out. Several other projects around the house and spring comming on. Will try and run the RYOBI tommorow and give a report. FLATHEAD

I will be interested in those Ryobi rod results. Got any pictures??

Thanks,

When you say pictures, what kind, running, actual picture of rod,or just the general conversion. Flathead

Just pictures of the new rod itself, and pictures of the process to make it too if you have them.

I was going to mill a rod out of aluminum, but I haven't gotten around to it because I don't have any reams anymore to finish size the bearing bores. I was just going to use stock bearings from the old rod.
