    2 cycle Twin Tecumseh

    I got two nearly identical toro s200 blowers, so I pulled the motors. Thinking of doing this. The motor that spins backwards will have the timing re-adjusted. The flywheel fins are straight, and each motor will have its own shroud, flywheel, coil, ect. Cut the shafts down a bit, and use...

    gx/clone charging solution

    I saw this at work today. It is on a gc190 e start push mower. Looks like it can go right a predator and give you a charge coil for gauges or a headlight with the factory flywheel. It is built into the coil. Thought I would share my find.
