RE: Engine conversion give away..
 
Well we are nowback from Florida. I still want to do the engine give away. It appears I can place 3 engines in a box that has a flat rate to ship anywherein USA. I will check again but It was around $10.50. That should be cheap for 3 engines. I also have a lot of coils,flywheels ect to go bye-bye. Anyone I talked about this before...PM me please. You guys should have first chance. I am working on too many other engines....mainly motorcycles now. Plus I got to get my 2nd place ready to sell. Best Regards Capt,n ...Forgot...I also got to finish my 4 cyl Holt too!

I would like Mac 28-32 as well as homies and FL 21 -25 if you have any. I will likely need spare parts as these are current projects and I'm still learning the art of conversion.

I think I got one Mack around 28cc or maybe bigger. I will dig them all out of the big boxes and set them all out tomorrow. I hope it is a clear day...or the photos will need to be done on garage floor...that will be fun (not really) to do. Capt,n

I'd be up for parts too, namely carbs, incomplete engines, whatever... I've got a fair pile of parts myself, but lack usable carbs to some extent.

RE: Engine conversion give away..
 
Boy, I am not having too good of luck doing photos today. Here shoud be most of the engines & parts for free. Just pay shipping. I think it may be best to fill a box...more parts for the shipping fee. I do have a brand new ..never run 25cc also that Scott Brillille was selling. Just want my$40 out of that one. Also have a Kioritz K-3W ...make offer...like new condition. PM me if you have questions. Thanks Capt,n UPDATE....I deleted some photos that was TOO BIG!!!! I also found 8 more engines in a box I thought was our camping gear! I am going to re-post tomorrow, but use a camera of less resolution. It will work better I hope. Man was it hard to find the edit place to click on.....WOW WOW WOW...gota rest!!!!!!!!! Capt,n

I have a few extra but they will not lake a cm-6 , machining a head is not hard but you will need to make it taller to use the cm-6 plug

Ken...re -Supertiger .90
Thanks for the reply. I will not be trying it right away....just wondered if the sealing part needs any special care in making. Would a thin copper gasket be needed? Thanks Capt,n

Well all the boxes should be ariving too you guys soon. Some have already! Here is a photo of 6 boxes...I had another go out after this photo & one guy is going to meet me & pick up his. I sure hope this went ok and everyone is happy with what they received.

This may start a new thing....swap meet... via post office... through the internet. I am sure there are many RC fans that would just kike to swap or even give away RC items. We all seem to collect more that we can use!!! Capt,n

As other threads have indicated it is becoming increasingly harder to get these engines.

I for one, are very thankful of your great generosity and effort in giving out theses engines.
THANK YOU.

Thanks for the reply. I am glad you can use the items. When I go past a couple of places I buy part & pick up free engines I will take anything I see you guys may like. When I get a few....I can post a few photos. Do not be in too much of a hurry...and do not let my wife know! I will kinda hide em. http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f.../msn/52_52.gif

Thanksto all the people that helped in the engine give-away. It makes me feel good not to throw good engines & parts away. Much better to be used in a project for sure! Capt,n http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...wink_smile.gif

I bet your wife feels "better" too heh Captain? They are often kind of funny about those things. Sometimes they just don't "get it".... ;)

A good rule for life: "A woman can never have too many shoes, and a man can never have too many engines!!" :D
