28cc Engine will it fit?

[voo2doo]

Hiya fellas,just browsing Ebay and came across this. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/28cc-PETROL-E...ssPageNameZWDVWQQtcZphotoQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
As it says its a 28cc engine,make unknown, just wondering will it fit an FG?
I have emailed the seller and asked if all the cowlings and tank were stripped off the block is the physical size of the motor the same as a Zen/Solo/CY ? No reply yet,do you guys or do you know of anyone who has bought one of these? If so have you/they had to modify them to use in an FG?
Can you please give me a bit of feedback on this as I'm contemplating on getting one.
Cheers
James.

It just wouldn't be worth it.
That item is off a grass trimmer.
Most people will use them in the boating world because it is easier to make them fit.
They would not come with the proper fastening areas to fit in your model.
It would be difficult for aftermarket and stock parts too.:no:

Thanks again bigger.

Not to mention the performance would probably suck too when compared to a Zen/CY of identical capacity.

i think it would be worth checking how cheap these could be picked up for,intresting!

it appears to me it looks similar to a cy or zenoah model,i think if the fuel tank was removed from bottom end it would accept engine mounts as the casing on the bottom looks the same.

take a closer look above the fuel tank,the angle of carb seems the same and the bottom end looks same.

if you could get one at a deal im 80 percent sure it would work.....

remove the plastics and it would reveal similar design,only thing iwould say as it is a strimmers engine piston ports and all internal ports would obviously be of a lesser degree so expect much less performance from it,but in saying that it may not be too bad and i think it would work.....

if you note, the ps and clutch sides are flipped. they ahve the PS on what would be our clutch side, and the flywheel side is the drive side of the motor. not sure if they could be arranged to work. it has a familiar looking flywheel cage on it. looks much like a cy or zen flywheel housing. wonder if you pm the seller and ask him if the motors are Kamatsu motors?

 

[dc2 man]

kamatsu motors are zenoah timmahh....
they are the same motors.

but maybe you already know this.

Had to do a double take on what you said Tim about the motor being flipped.The drive and the PS are on the same side as a Zen/CY or Solo.If you look at the mill from the carb veiw you will see the pull start on the right and the drive on the left as per same with the above engines,so there might be little or no mods to make it fit? I'll tell you the score when I get mine.

James.
