I like to scratch build, or rather copy plans and cut my own. Building/assembly is definitely a different hobby. Send that big Yak my way. I know how to run a 3W.
The forum software here is a lot nicer. And, basically there's no one over there except me and Monkey. hahaNice website. I need to join.
It's always been only the 3W 170 CS on there. If it was a DA-170 with 4 gallons of synth it would already be broken in. haha This thing is just starting to barely break in the tiniest amount. The power will come way up, and it's got some power now. Also, putting a DA-170 on there would require me taking two days to make an engine spacer. :O haha
I hear ya'! And, I'll take any reasonable offer! On the 3W, I've never had anything but great ones. This one had a gap/hole to the outside world in the gasket because of... well... look at this thread:

Just checked out your thread. So the fix was to put a Tilitson carb on, interesting...
