21cc Weedeater Featherlite
 
Is this a good engine to convert? May understand it needs a bigger carb. Email me if you want to know where to buy for jsut under $40. Thanks Capt,n

The only way they are viable is to do a extensive reporting - deck job - piston crowning - crankcase stuffing - as well as the bigger carb.

A stock one, though they are just fine as a small weed whacker, just doesn't have much gusto as a model engine. It's a 14-6 at 7000 engine.

Your time would be better spent on a Homelite or Ryobi.

Enjoy,

Jim

2 of these perhaps might work great like on a 90 inch wing span twin engine like the OV-10 Bronco or else?

This place has a website...so I guess it is no secrete www.homier.com they have a 1-800 phone no listed on website. They also have a mini lathe that looks good? Hope this helps. Capt,n[8D]

Would probably work OK on something like that big ARF Cub that Great Planes sells??
