Appreciate the offer. One question. How long is the engine from the firewall the where the back of the prop would be? And how much?

From the face of the prop hub to the fire wall is 150mm or about six inches with the supplied stand offs. Stand offs are 70mm long.

The engine is basically free because it was free to me. All I want is to cover the cost of the new carb and the prop. Both items were about 75.00. I will also throw in some other props. Xoar Axial WWI prop 18x6, Xoar 17x8 wood, VVRC 18x8 wood new un-drilled. The engine runs very good. You will need an ignition though. It just does not have enough power to my liking for my 16.5 pound Cub.

Interesting. Its a touch longer than needed but might work with either moving the firewall back or shortening the standoffs some. may require a bunch of nose wieght though. Let me think on it and I will get back with you in a day or so.

Sure does, might have to have one tomorrow.
Have not got much done in the shop since returning from the week away. In the process of getting a mobile home removed from a property so it will be slow for a week or so. But I did manage to go over or through the PAU Ultimate this evening. Installed the Pico switch for the telemetry, heat wrapped the exhaust, and drilled the new prop as well as the one for the GP 123 of which is on the test stand mount. So I need to run the Ultimate once outside to check everything then it can go back in the toy trailer.
