Re: Weedwhacker Engine Project
So if I'm right, you're going to start the motor by back driving the output shaft with a hand drill? If so, it should work, it's just like push starting a go-ped (except a smaller engine). Now, for that clutch bearing, it depends on the effort needed to crank the engine (18cc doesn't sound like it'll be too heavy).

I'm also curious; what are you planning to do with the weedwhacker motor?
