The end is nigh... 880

In stock form i.e.the air flap in it's factory position yes the 090 is all about torque but move it a little it opens up. That is after all why the factory sponsored go kart racing with it's 090 engine powered karts and as far as I know the only chainsaw engine powered micro lights . If you have ever used a 090 in anger and had "push back" you will know all about what torque really is !

They used a big McCullough 10-10 engine in caret racing also .

I was thinking you know Rough Hewn should get a couple of 250cc kart engines for milling, no need for a chain brake.

Solve the 880 problem, complete the circle as it were.

I always thought a 30hp Rotax kart engine may be interesting on a saw! Sounds so much better than 10hp
