Peggy,
You have two choices. Buy them from BME or get them from an Echo dealer. The 100 is made from two Echo 50cc saw cylinders. Two rings per piston. Here is the BME link with dealers. http://www.bmeengine.com/html/contact.htm

My BME 100 has two holes tapped for #6 screws in the drive washer. Apparently you are to put two #6 machine screws in there as drive pins for the prop. Every time I put the screws in there they sheer when I run it. Whats the solution for this? I tried to leave them out and torque the prop nut to 50 ft-lbs but it has thrown the prop and I am afraid to get in front of it to start it

I can't tell what Keiths intent was for this.
What I use it for is to bolt the spinner back plate to the hub. Doing this I don't have that problem.
If your propeller is not tight, you will snap off the bolts.
I would recommend that you tighten the propeller nut as tight as you can.
I use a wrench that is abotu 1 foot long.
I tighten it until I think I will break my propeller.
I have NEVER snapped a bolt off.

Peggy, I'm not sure if anyone answered the second question in your post...I'm really not sure about the 100, but I have an early BME 102 in an Aeroworks SU-31 at 27lbs. With a 26X10 Beila prop it has unlimited vertical. If you are talking about the Composite ARF YAK2.6 it is advertised at 26-27lbs. If it were me, however, I would opt for the ZDZ 100NG, the BME 110 Extreme,The DA 100 or the 3W106. I hope this helps.
