Whats going on here? I posted this search for a smaller engine more that 6 weeks ago and all of a sudden I am getting a flood of replies. Cool, as the issue never did get totally resolved then. I need to point out tho, that I am not interested in buying but rather building up my own. Thanks any way and keep on coming up with ideas.

Pat: Personally I wouldn't look any further than the Mazda rotary for the power to weight ratio in itself let alone the small size. For your intended usage I believe it would have to undergo some serious de-rating to keep from tearing the wings clean off a KR performance wise. Other than that you might want to look into that Harley powerplant currently being marketed up Chicago way. If memory serves the outfit is HogAir. This little beauty has a very small footprint (physical size) and is of favorable weight for KR useage. Doug Rupert I am looking for a narrower (smaller in physical size) engine for my single seat KR. My VW is too wide. I want to streamline the firewall forward to look more in line with P51, 109 etc. Besides the mazda, what's out there in the 70-80 HP range that is not 2 cycle? Any thoughts out there?
