Its aircooled, Runs perfect and cost 75 bucks for the new engine from EBAY. Now I am an official Hill Billy HOOOOO WEEEEE. Attachments: Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

A fair warning, lawnmower engines like B&S are meant to stay in an RPM band and will not be a durable choice for trolling and using it at variable speeds. With that said, thats one if not the best conversions I've ever seen. Not to mention, parts are very accesible and cheap. If that motor burns up, just replace it from another freebie from around town and you're back in action.
