Engine with clockwise rotation??

[lars11]

Looking to replace my portable winch engine, an old tecumseh. Need a small 2 stroke with clockwise rotation! Have been looking everywhere, trimmers, you name it, nothing. Could use a chainsaw engine but nicest would be to find like a trimmer engine with a 1/2 inch axle. Anyone know where to look??

I would look at MFGr websites, or call them and ask? Good luck

Wind the cable the opposite way on the spool?

If it were not for coil configuration, and flywheel key placement that would actually work.

Ok, anyone knows where to find drop in engines for old 70s Tecumseh 2 stroke engines?
I would love to get a new drop in rather than modifying it all.

What size of an engine?

There are plenty 139cc Tecumseh two cycle engines around. Not too sure about anything else.

By the way, a two cycle engine will run in reverse with existing electrics. I've had it happen more than once with my two cycle motorcycle engines. Modern two cycle snowmobile manufacturers actually use that technique to provide their machines with reverse capability albeit with a little more sophistication.
