1lb. Propane Canister Engine!?!!??

Our local ACE hardware was stocking the propane weedeater. They had them for a year or so then pulled them off the shelf and sent them all back. Every one of them came back because of fuel hose leak problems. Don't know about other products. Sears sells one too...Same maker different badge? Also this small engine needs to have the oil changed often (but which small engine doesn't?)

Even with the fuel hose problem you speak of.... assuming that is just a standard hose, sounds to be easily replacable even in the field.

Still watching for prices to drop on it... it is the off season now, so hopefully soon!
 
Staton's selling a Lehr friction drive kit now... on sale.

Now this I really like, I just don't know how well a friction drive would climb up the hill that I live on.
 
If someone has has a tanaka 33 or rs25 seems as though it should hook up to a Golden Eagle kit as well (May be too bulky with the canister?)

And, it IS a 25cc engine; with propane, you'd lose a little power...

Staton only offers 7/8 and 1 inch rollers with this kit, so it may not fit your situation.
 
Just checked Ebay... brand new weedwacker with said engine is shipped for ~$130

Not bad for a 25cc engine... BUT it still needs the 76mm clutch adapter to work with any standard MB system
 
I think it's cool, but they need a 50cc. :) This 25cc should be really good for a road bike or a low speed city bike. 20mph is fast when traffic is standing still!
