Cool idea (my current bike project)

Didn’t have carb cleaner so used hot water the sink sprayer and dawn. Now it won’t run at all lol.

-Now it’s running OK has a dead spot. I’m guessing the mitsu clone will have more power than the Subaru. 15cc advantage and 2 stroke instead of 4 stroke.

No question about that, displacement advantage and twice as many power strokes per revolution!

The Subaru is one of the best engines you can put on these, but you have to be content with it's modest power.

Did you take off the screws on the other side? Walbro carbs usually have a metal screen there that filters the incoming fuel after the inlet tube and before the needle and seat valve. This is almost always the only thing dirty on these little carbs. I noticed a little residue in your pic. A little is all it takes.

There was a screen but it didn’t have any debris in it. There was just yellow stuff on the top piece as you can see. The diaphragm seems a little crinkled. I think the gas I’m using is from November and ethanol free because it was for the generator when the power went out. The diaphragm isn’t horrible because it does idle if it was really shot the engine would run for a second and shut off. That’s what the weed eater engine I have does with the same type carb.

That would be pretty cool but did you happen to see the price? last time I spoke to him his engines started at 7k.He had a 1/4 scale r/c cobra and a boat fitted with his engines and some f***er stole them from the Toledo hobby show.

Would have to redesign something like that for the 76mm clutch. I want to make a small multi cylinder engine someday a little flathead or something. Could use gx35 pistons and valves. A v4 140cc would be cool.

Yeah, the Conley engines are totally awesome, a few years ago when I was looking at shaft-drive bicycles, the first thing I thought of was "I bet someone could adapt a Conley engine to that". In my old Yahoo Car Chat days, we were familiar with Conley's work, as he started out making a scaled-down Viper V10 engine before losing everything in a fire.

It's just another one of those things that would make dang good MaB science if price is no object.
His supercharged Stinger is like $10K or more, last time I checked. So much want, so little need!
