Magnum 180 two stroke

I ran the 180 yesterday and it run fine . I forgot how messey two strokes can be. Would it be feisable to convert it to gas? Would I have to put bearings in the connecting rod? I know I would have to get an adaptor for the carb. Thanks Rich

RE: Magnum 180 two stroke

making an adpter for the carb on the magnum 180 is very easy, just take a 1/4 aluminum plate and drill the holes to match the ones in the carb and the ones in the carburator base on the engine , you'll need to also make a spacer,play with the carb position so it doesn't interfere with it's operation, I converted mine to gas/glow and it worked so good that a friend of mine bought it from me because he liked it so much.

Aero nut That is nice to know. Was there much power difference between the glo and gas? What sparkplug did you use? C&h Ign ? Did you have to put in rod bearings? Thanks I really appreicate it. Rich
