Unknown Engine
 
I just inherited an engine that looks like it started life as a leaf blower engine. 2 cycle, magneto, pull cord starter, 1.5" bore. I see no name on it anywhere. Where do I start looking for a prop adapter for something like this?

Nope, that didn't work. Where are the instructions? I think I see them.

Back to the original question. Where would I find a prop adapter for this. Also, since the plug is missing the top half, I need to know what plug to get for it. It had a 20 X 10 prop on it whan I got it, but the fool butchered it so bad it is dangerous. What size prop should I start with?

Thought i had something laying around in all my stuff.Think this might be what your looking for.If your bore is 1.5 inches,heres what i came up with:
1.5 inch=40mm
20mmx20mm(40mmsquared)x(PI-3.14)=1256
1256x a stroke of 32mm =40.1ccs
the specs on the engine in pic say39.7cc(2.42ci)---3.2hp@8000
18x10-prop7350
20x8prop-7500
22x8prop-7000
look at the specs in lower right hand corner and left lower corner,3 rings,theres no date on this flyer.says($189.95 on prepaid orders,we pay shipping.)this is a brand new 6 bolt hub never mounted.you can see in the pic the prop washer has a raised stem that is tapped for a spinner bolt. the 6 bolts for the prop are brand new i bought from ace a while back.the crankshaft thread is either 10mm or 7/16 i believe.hub is 1-1.2 long x1-5/8 diameter.send me a PM if interested.

Echo/Kioritz. That looks like it. The text on the pics is unreadable. Can you scan it at a higher resolution and Email it to me?
