Pics for Homie engine mounting.
 
Can some of you put up some pics on how you all mount you homie 25cc

I need 6 ½ “ from the prop to the firewall. So that will be 1 to 1 ½” of stand offs that I will have to put behind the engine. I not to king on the idea of ordaining stand offs so I will have to make them. So right now I am looking for some good ideas if you will send them my way.

Thanks
Paul

on my latest engine, I made some standoff's on my lathe, drilled out 3/4 of the length to just above the size of 10-24 allthread, then tapped the end that wasn't drilled too big, replaced 4 of the case bolts with the allthread, installed the spacers with the threaded portion furthest from the engine and tightened, I left enough of the allthread sticking out the back to go through the firewall and used nyloc nuts and fender washers on the other side of the firewall.

this method works well, although I haven't technically ran an engine with it, it's plenty strong, and allows for the least amount of bending in the weak allthread so it should actually hold up...

although this isn't a homelite obviously, it should show what I was trying to explain

What to you meen by nyloc nuts? Is that the same as lock nuts? If not were did you get them and why did you uses them?

I know what you are taking about with the stand off. but I do not have a lathe. YET lol

I will get one. Just do not know when yet.

You did a nice job on the ones in the pics.

Thanks Paul

yeah, usually the same thing, it's just the nuts with the little nylon insert

I'd have to check my material, but I could possibly make you up a set including the allthread, I have a homelite to use for mochup...
