I love the old McCullochs, but would be my last choice for air travel! Try here US Motor Power - Creator of the US820 Industrial Engine | Located in Delavan, Wisconsin they have an updated West Bend 820 engine that will be reliable. Solid state ignition and factory support!

Indeed, flight is not a place for marginal reliability.
I have a bunch of earlier Hirths and the new ones are impressive.

Great idea, but the $670. price is a lot over my budget....

Thanks, are parts available to rebuild and Hirth 292cc over 20 years old?? Thanks again, Paul

Absolutely! 292/300/317/338 are all the same bottom end, just different bores.
Early ones had iron jug and rounded head, later were chrome bore alloy and square head.
Same jugs on twins make 600/634 units. Hot 338 porting is a bit much for the twin crank, but makes a wicked but fragile 676.

Great info thanks a million. I will bid on one and try to rebuild....

You are wanting to go in the air on a limited budget? That is scary! McCulloch 101's are going for big money these days! The vintage kart guys routinely pay over $1000 for one! Please be safe!

Check out the Whing DingII on Utube...That is my project and will use a one cylinder Hirth 292 CC 193-R4 if I can find a carb. and some other parts....

 

[FirePowerMinis]

193 has a cast iron cylinder. 317cc is all alloy, still mild, same bottom end. 10-15lbs may not matter?

Oh, and we went from Mac to Hirth, but there are lots of used Yamaha 250 Enticer engines out there too. I can try to get a rough weight/size comparison to a Hirth, this week. I have one apart for rebuild. I'm thinking the Yam is 10-15lbs lighter than an alloy Hirth

I skipped over this. You did see they are over $2000, right?

I have an older model Hirth on the way...May need rings or seals. Hope it gets here soon...

 

[Halftrack]

Thanks for the info... Artic Cat is only 6.5 hp ....A little short...I need 10-15 for my project...

Hirth was the most reasonable priced one I could find. Should be here tomorrow. Can't wait to see what I have to work with.. I made a propeller last week from a Birch log I cut last year. one solid piece no lamination..so far so good...
