Default Re: hobby city FTL 52 cc engine

I now have this motor in it's 3rd airframe. Currently in a H9 27% Extra weighing under 14lbs. Engine runs great. Gobs of power for this airframe! It does not have the power of a DL/DA for sure, but it swings my 20x8 xoar prop at about 7100rpm. On my door step for $210!

framos:

To adapt an aluminium spinner, change the principal parker screw to an hexagonal head in the same size, then, drill a 4.5 mm guide in the axis of the new screw 15mm deep aprox., make a 5mm internal threaded, and thats it...กกกก. Many of fuji's and zenoahs's comes with this easy solution.

What is a substitute carburetor for this engine? I have a busted one and HK takes forever to restock parts or anything else.
