I went down to our local recycling centre on friday and picked up a
couple of weedeater motors for my future boat projects. Both were
McCulloch engines(65sl and 80sl) they only cost $5 each. The 65sl
started and ran well straight away but the 80sl has no spark and seems
the crank bearings are stuffed as there is a fair bit of movement.
These engines are assembled in mexico and come standard with walbro
carbies so that is a bonus, I will probably work the 65sl and try
swapping the carbies etc. Does anyone know much about these engines as
any hints would be helpful. I googled the engine data and after much
searching found that both motors come in at 21.2cc they both are very
compact and lightweight in my opinion. I might try getting another one
to run as twins in the 72inch mono. Again if anyone knows these motors
I would really appreciate any help at all.
Cheers,
Chad
