Does anybody know anything about this engine? Is it suitable for an
ultralight
and what kind of power/thrust can you expect from it?

They're heavy, like 125 lbs when everything is stripped off of them.
There's a yahoo group that has a lot of information about them -

84 cubic inches, rated for 20 hp but supposidly people get 40-50 out
of them.

Pore little things--can't breathe hardly 'tall---If a feller could put
bigger valves in 'em & more lift-(cam)--that would help-- I milled the
heads on one to raise Compression ratio---couldn't hardly tell any
difference.--never got around to playing with the spark tho--that might
have helped..Jerry
