I'm looking for an engine that may not exist. If anyone has a notion
of what it might be, I'd be grateful.

It's for a 103 legal ultralight.

60 lbs or so all up, including re-drive and cooling
35-40 hp.
4 stroke.
More reliable than a 2 stroke Rotax

Any ideas?

Not sure if this was mentioned earlier in this rather old thread, but
these guys have a pretty interesting solution.

on the negative side: this thing wants unleaded fuel only
so no 100LL, might be problematic even in Europe

You can always run 100LL and use a lead
scavanger, like http://www.decalinchemicals.com/

for myself I should be more interested
to see a similar aircraft conversion
of the smart diesel engine


Last time I spoke to them, early 2003, they were
working on it. Not sure if they still are, or
what the status is.
