Has anyone tried to convert the YS140 to gas? I know they could be several problems. but just curious. Thanks Rich

The biggest problem would be solving the pump problem. I would like to convert one to ignition to use 0% nitro fuel though.

More trouble than it is worth on this engine.

The problem is the piddle valve diaphragm is not compatable with gas.

Kind of what I thought. The 140 are a fuel hog. Thanks Rich

Ask on the Pattern Forum, Archie Stafford converted one for a UAV project. I cannot remember the details.

It may be possible that the ones with the valve on the pushrod could be converted?
