Most Compact Engine in 20cc Range??
Looking for a good strong engine in the 20cc range to convert. I need somthing tight and compact, but still powerful. What piece of equiment, makes a good starting point?
Thanks. |

An Echo 21 to 25cc would be best. They come out the lightest and have the most power in my opinion. Very good engines.

I believe the China flavor it better than the Italian.
I know the Carb. is better. |

My understanding that was the machining wasn't all that precise on the older Super Tiger engines, and they required an extensive break in. I have dealt with several of the newer, made in China models and they work very well. They break in fast, and I have had no problems with the carbs.

I am looking for an engine to convert from a good piece of industrial or yard equipment.

Echo engines are the best I have found in this size range. I have three airplanes flying with small Echo engines. I have one for sale if you are interested. You can see it here:

av8tor, I had a lady friend give me a like brand new Echo weed wip Model 2400! She said it was too hard to start. Compression is the word. She allready bought a more easy to start low compression model. Yup...it has the right hand crank and is going to be setting in a airplane!:D:D:D Capt,n

Congrats Captain!!
I hope it runs great for you!! AV8TOR |
RE: Most Compact Engine in 20cc Range??
I agree with Av8tor on the Echo brand equipment. Also look for the old small Stihl trimmers. I found them to be of quality and very powerful.

I have an Echo 21.2cc engine that I want to convert.
What parts do I need? Carb? Ignition? Muffler? Prop Hub? Where can I get them? I am new to the conversion process so please bear with me. |
RE: Most Compact Engine in 20cc Range??
I found an old thread called "Dont forget Echo" and its probably got all the answers I need about converting my 21.2cc for my next project.
