Excelleron 90

[rcaerobob at cox.net]

The Magnum I received was extremely rough in machining work, and the casting quality was absolutely terrible.  It was so bad LOOKING (machine grooves VISIBLE on the crank case in the intake window!!!!) that I returned it immediately.  Maybe mine was a fluke, but it was bad enough looking that I wouldn't even try to run it.

> Maybe the Webra 145 ain't such a bad idea.  It's light for a big two stroke.  It's rear exhaust.  I have a Bolly 480 muffler that will work; sure don't need the extra power from a tuned pipe.  They have the new SS bearings in them.  But the pump and mixture sensitivity make them hard to deal with; and I am tried of that problem.
