TheNeedForZ Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I am looking for an engine to do experiments on. I am looking for a cheap/small piston engine, doesn't have to be a car engine but would prefer 4-stroke engine over 2-stroke. Will prefer gasoline engine(not diesel or propane) as well. Don't care about number of cylinders. The engine will not go into a car but will be bolted to a cradle of sorts and secured to the ground(or to a table if small enough.) What choices are out there? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewievette Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Hit the yard sales you can usually get a lawnmower or weedwacker pretty cheap they come in two and four stroke and as long as one cylinder is not a problem, it should work for you. I have no idea what your up to so I dont know if it will work or not, just throwing out ideas for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
