Chris Cann · 01-22-2004, 08:40 PM

Turbobeaver · 01-22-2004, 10:14 PM

Chris,
Most weewacker engines run like you want, but some (like the green weedeater brand) do turn "backwards"..

I think trying to get a 31cc Ryobi is probably your best bet.

Wait untill the spring cleanup when people throw away all their busted up crap, maybe you can snag one with a decent motor but broken trimmer part.

Or, try and look at a small engine shop, tell them what you are trying to do and ask for anything that was returned for fixing and the customer abandoned... BUT, do it in a very nice way. Dont expect them to give you something for nothing. And if you do get a free or cheap parts engines, and they ask very little or nothing for it, go and buy th guys a coffee - it will put you in the good books for future trips.... trust me!
