I've never done a 4 cycle stuff.....
Assuming a trimmer 4 stroke is the same as other 4 strokes, I'd welcome mod threads. For once I'd actually understand what the **** people were talking about. Transfer ports??? WTF?? (Why the face??)
 
If shipping a string trimmer wasn't so expensive, I'd send to you my new-to-me Cub Cadet CC4175 (it's a rebadged MTD product, POS??) for some "experimentation."

The weak points in those string trimmers are the drive shaft and gear head. Modding the engine on one would only exacerbate those issues...
 
Jacob, could you elaborate?

I apologize for the derail, Randy.

The majority of failures in modern 4-cycle string trimmers that I saw at the shop were in the drive shaft and gear head. It was obvious that a stock motor was putting more stress on those components than they could handle even over a moderate service life.
