Moki 1.80 & 2.10 conversion to gas
 

I have been on a mission lately to get rid of some of my fuel sucking glow engines and replace them with gas engines, then it hit me...why not convert some of them to gas. I have an OS 160fx, a Moki 1.80, and a Moki 2.10. How difficult and or expensive is it to convert these engines? I would be grateful if someone would point me towards the parts and instructions to convert these engines. Thanks in advance for any help.

Never mind, I found my answer. It is about as expensive to convert as it is to sell the glow, and buy a gasser. Thanks anyway guys.

Ain't learning things without getting into your pocket book wonderful.:D

One of the benefits that I've found to converting the big glow engines is that I now have a big displacement engine that has beam mounts. My converted Super Tigre G-3250 was a cinch to swap into my Hellcat since it already had an engine mount that accomodated beam mount engines. I hate setting up standoffs, but that's just me. Plus, the big Tigre has sick power. It swings a 20 X 8 at 7800 RPM which is more than my DLE 30 will do. I got the engine at a swap meet for $50. With the cost of the conversion I have $200 in it. I found an ST S3000 at a swap meet later that year for $30.

The big glow engines are going for pennies on the dollar these days and if you can get one for a song like I did, the conversions are worth it.

Where can I find ORings for the needle valve on a Moki 1.80 glow engine? Thanks Mike

I have five ST3000 and thought of converting some since I only have one boat. Heard C&H sold the kits but I can't find anything on the net about the how to. Thanks to anyone that can steer me in the right direction. George

You're welcome. Punch me in some "score" numbers. Now that I have noticed them, I've been trying to outdo myself.... ;)
