ECHO two stroke engine conversion for rc trainer
 

Hi guys
I have an old Echo gas shr200e backpack sprayer and it looks like that( http://myrtlebeach.craigslist.org/grd/1247627091.html )it is a two stroke engine and i see some people converting these type engines for rc flying so i also want to convert that engine for airplane i also do some tests and run a 18 *6 propeller and it gives me about 4 to 5 kg of thrust and it weights about 1600 grams but the problem is that it have a reservoir carburetor and it can not suck the fuel and to run the engine i have to mount the fuel tank 4 to 5 inches above the engine so if any one of you knows how to modify the carburetor for this purpose so reply me

First,take the carb off and see if it has a pulse hole in the cylinder.
If not,youll have to drill a hole on a flat spot under the carb intake.
You use a drill bit the same size as 1/8th inch copper tubing.Then you put a nipple in there with JB weld or tap and thread it and put a threaded nipple in it.
Then you use a standard walbro pump carb and run a hose from that nipple to a nipple on the pump side of carb on the cover.
Ill see if i can find and post a pic.
If your engine has a pulse hole just use the same intake manifold if possible,or youll have to make a new manifold out of G10.
