I have a nearly-new Homelite trimmer. So far it's broken 2 flexshafts @
$20
each. Only gave $50 for the trimmer!. So I've bought another
trimmer.

What to do with the Homelite power head?
Suggestions for an interesting use?

I've seen a motorcycle built with one. It looked like a sport bike & was
about 2' long. It ran pretty quick...

Les how many weedwacker motors would it take to power a home built
hack?

Too many... Syncronizing the carbs would be rough too.

This winter I want to build something really different. I am leaning
towards a Diesel or Steam powered bike. However a whole bunch of weed
wacker engines has a certain apeal too.

I've been looking at a set of VW pistons & cylinders I got in a trade &
wondering what it'd take to build a bike engine with 'em. Not ready to
tackle that project yet though. You can bet that when i do, I'll give myself
more than the week I had on the hack.

See ya Les

Good to see you hanging out here. Some interesting reading...

Later,
