Weed Eater Conversion
 

Guys,

I need some help. I thought of converting an engine from a used weed eater for RC use. The weed eater model number is LT7500, and I am having trouble finding engine size and specification information on it. The walbro carb has WT299 stamped on it, and my best guess is that it is a 18-20cc. It is incredibly light, and I am hoping someone out there can help me out with where to go for a prop hub and EI conversion parts for it.

HELP!

Thanks

what brand is the weedeater?

look up CH ignitions for EI conversion. prop hubs can be found at alot of places but if the engine is not a commonly converted on you will have to have one made for you by either doing it yourself or getting a hold of someone with a lathe.
