what I've actually thought of doing, is mounting that Lawn beetle engine not on a Victa chassis, but on a Sanli LCS400 lazercut yellow chassis.
Now the reason is that for some reason, I've twice now had LAwn Beetles which ran as sweetly as anything you can imagine, but the two Lazercuts I've had, and still have one, don't run anywhere near as well.The Lawn Beetle seems a lot more smooth and more economical on fuel.
the yellow chassis and disc blade gives you the advantage of a wider cut (I think it is either 16.5 or 17" on the 400, to 16" on the 350)a 4-blade disc instead of the 350s bar, and also even better, normal height adjustment that the 350 lacks.
I imagine the hub and disc from the 400 can go straight onto the end of the 350's shaft, because as I talk about in minute, both must use the same crank.
I looked up specs on those two engines btw, and also contacted Sanli Australia, and asked what the relative capacities were.
They told me the 350 is 119cc...the 400 is 135cc.
I downloaded the parts manual for both.
--the crankshaft both enegines, is same part number...which suggests same stroke.
--the piston, both engines, is same part number, which suggests same bore.
We seem to have an enigma there, until we look up the ringset part number.
the 350 and 400, for some reason, list two different ringsets.
Presumably that is --somehow-- where the different displacement comes from?
although I cannot work out how.
