Are there any conversions in the 80 to 90 CC range?
 

Hi guys, I'm new to this part of RCU, I've been building and flying jets exclusively for the past 6 years. A friend of mine owed me some money and found a whopper of a deal on a couple of 30% airplanes and bought one for me with the money he owed me [X(]

I was considering buying a ZDZ 80 for it and this morning I thought I would check in here to find out what kind of effort to make my own engine.

I do have access to a full CNC Machine Shop, so making any parts to make something work would not necessarily be a problem, I just don't know much about gas engines and thought you all might be able to point me in the right direction.

All the best,

Sean

Sachs makes a 5.8 CDI, Husky has a 6.0 and a 5.7 CDI. For one off just cut down the crankcase, way to much bother to make just one.

I have a Partner saw and a Target saw, 72 & 80cc as I recall. I did sell a Partner to Ralphbf on RCU here. He has some pictures on it here I think. I have also done a Husqvarna 72cc saw. Lite and powerful.

Hey Tim

I finally ran her for the 1st time yesterday.

The muffler I made seems to work pretty good.
I put about a half a gallon through it, ten to fifteen minutes at a time.
It weighed in at 4 pounds and 4 ounces.
It already spins an APC 22 x 10w like it's not even there.

A little hard to start the 1st time but it hand starts pretty easy now.
I'll set the Carb. and post the video soon.

The problem I have now is nothing I've seen runs like the Echo twin I just finnished.

Yea I like the way mine run too. I really want to start cutting on the big Target saw and see how lite I can get it before I spend time making parts for it. I think it will be pretty lite but we shall see.
