This might be easy for you guys, but I dont know....
Can you identify this? It was given to me by an older guy who didnt want it anymore. He said he had it on a 1/4 size cub but cant remember who he got it from or what brand it is. All he said was 'Use a piece of paper to gap the coil and it will run fine'
It has a 16 x 8 apc prop on it and I'm assuming its a 20-25 cc weed whacker conversion.
I ran it shortly on a stand and it actually ran very nice.
If anyone knows, speak up!
Thanks - Dave

I think it may be a Mitsubishi. Not real powerfull...but high quality. Run it on glow and get more power and loose the ignition. The exhaust is pretty crude it should have a good lightweight muffler. Another option is ot port it out . Check the timing first and use a degree wheel. Capt,n

Hi aviatordave,
I have a small (16cc)? Toro that has the coil located on the bottom of the crankcase like yours, but it has the sparkplug installed vertical instead of slanted like yours

Ok...I'm not sure I have even seen a Kioritz motor. Would it help if I take the head and cylinder off and measure the cylinder wall or piston with a calipers (for displacement size)? I can add some photos if anyone thinks that might work.
Thanks for the replies!
