Beautifull engine, very compact.

One question, is there just two prop bolts? And is the center threaded for a nut (cant tell from the pics) or is it just a stub to center the prop?

I like that engine.... so nice looking, such a small case relative to the jug.

Andrew, there are four bolts for the prop. that gold thing on the right hand side the the prop drilling jig! I weighed the engine, ignition, mufflers and standoffs and it came out to under 4 lbs total.

Hard to believe that little engine puts out 5 HP. Can't wait to try it out. There are two more on the way, one for Ron M and one for Brian Facey! I dare not show them the real thing. I'm afraid it will rust up with them drooling all over it!
