10hp HM100 of any use to recreational machines?

[FirePowerMinis]

I recall the Star jobs, but does any one run the "regular" ones? I have one on my snowblower, one on a gen-set, plus 2 spares.
I think I'll put the Star rod in the 'blower even after price went up on ebay, trim the head and clean up the ports, build a long-tube header. Gennie is getting a natural gas conversion, so a little more timing and compression seem in order there too?

I don't think the star rod will fit in the HM 100 . Pretty sure the rod journal is to big on the crank end . The star is the same as the HM80 crank .

Hmmm. I'm new at these, but saw at Jack's, they're listed the same.

10hp Tecumseh's are really good for go karts they have loads of torque. I have an 8hp on mine and it can climb over anything and tops out governed at 29mph. they are a bit large and heavy for mini bikes but I have seen quite a few bikes with them and when un governed they make for a scary fast bike. I raced one before and my built up briggs raptor couldn't keep up.

What year are your two spares and would you consider selling

One is around 1970, one fairly new. 1" shaft on 2, other was a gen-set and I turned it to 3/4. 70 didn't have spark, so I pulled it apart. Pretty good shape besides needing points or a electronic conversion.
