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!

RE: Engine conversion give away..
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.

RE: Engine conversion give away..
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

RE: Engine conversion give away..
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 wish I had some engines to work on!

Hi Ken,
How hard is it to turn a Supertiger .90head? I bought one like new...the head is missing. Is it possibe to make a head & have a small CM6 spark plug for ignition? Just Kinda wondering. Thanks Capt,n |

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

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 |
RE: Engine conversion give away..
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

RE: Engine conversion give away..
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 AV8TOR |
