Thanks for the offer, Pete. Was thinking to try Loctite 222 (purple) if reconditioning the crank surface doesn't do the trick. 222 has a shear strength of 360 psi, that may be strong enough. Thought...

Yes, they work fine, never had one slip until I bought one particular 180. If I moved the throttle too quickly it slipped. Dave was kind enough to send me a good used prop drive and collet which...

I noticed the same thing, but not important from a measurement perspective, as there seems to be no difference in piston or rod geometry between early and later 150's. Should be easy enough for Dave...

Yes, I would definitely try it before modifying the ID. I consider 11mm a bit on the large size for a 30cc anyway. In addition, with gas conversions I prop for lower peak rpm so a slightly smaller...
