Default 4 Stroke Weed Eater Motor

My cousin found one and is gonna send it my way so I can put it on the bike. Does anyone have any tips or advice when it comes to 4 strokes?


I don't know the specs on it yet but it does run. Once I find out more I will post the Info.

And my bike is running pretty good right now, I just have to finish my carb adjustments.

Make sure you mount it so the oil pan/crankcase is the right place (down, faily level) unless it's a hybrid 4 stroke.

Details?

I should be finding out the details today, The guy who had it before owns a car shop and apparently he did some mods to it to increase performance one day when he got bored.

If it came from a weed trimmer I would think it was designed to be tilted and even run at all kinds of angles. But I would mount it oil pan down as well regardless.
