Nice work Av8tor. That is exactly what I tried to explain in earlier posts here. As they say; A picture is worth a thousand words. One of these days my new house and shop will be done and I can get everything set again and get back to the conversion thing.

Thanks. Yeah, I've been trying to leave my airplanes and engines alone while I play "Mr. Mom" for a bit, and also paint my race boat and build a nice rail type dune buggy. I started having withdrawal syptoms though, so I worked on this project for a while the other day. I'm also anxious to get started on that BME twin 23.6cc engine. I will now go from the left hand thread fix to prepping this crank for the twin; or at least work on it a little at a time.... (add sound of my 1 year old daughter crying for my attention here.... )

Take care,
AV8TOR

Nice work. Did you start the tap with it chucked in the chuck attached to your tailstock to get a good alighnment? How far past the key-way did you thread? Thanks Capt,n P. S. Nice photos!!!

Hi,

Yeah, you have to be careful getting the tap aligned properly, especially with that keyway there, but I had no problems. It is tapped about 1.25" past the keyway.

You're welcome,
AV8TOR

A friend of mine really wants one of those BME 23.6cc twins we've been working on. Anyone have two of the 23.6cc engines they would care to sell cheap??

Thanks,
AV8TOR

I got 2brand new....its going to cost $100 for the pair + shipping. Capt,n

Hmmm, I bought two from another gentleman here in the forum (you know who you are and thank you again) for about 250% less than that. Did I do something to make you angry?

AV8TOR

AV8TOR: No..nothing like that at all....just gota make some on this stuff to help towards new Lathe and Mill and more & more tooling. Thats 2 brand new engines. One alone list price is over $150 at the cheapest price I could find. Its a matter of supply and demand. When the good prices are all gone.....up goes the price on whats left. Best Regards, Capt,n

I have a sb1027 in my hands but it sure looks RH thread?

Thanks
Mark

I have an echo 2400, and would like to know how I can get a flywheel. Where can I find the specs to make one, if I were to?

Go to repair shops...you may find a good used one quite cheap or a complete dead engine with a flywheel for a very low price. Try the small shops also. Capt,n

I guess I am talking about a prop hub. How do I mill a prop hub, (dimensions)?
This is all new to me, what other things are required for the modification. (I have the complete weed eater engine)
