Has anyone ever heard of a conversion of a small IC engine - like from a string trimmer or lawn mower - to an air compressor? Considering that an air compressor is a very simple engine being driven, I don't figure it would be a lot of effort to give it a go.
I think a 2-stroke may be an easier conversion, but it doesn't seem too difficult for a 4-stroke either.
Are there any reasons that this really isn't feasible or practical? Any ideas? Links to web sites showing it has been done? Any potential issues with lubrication and/or cooling?
Thanks
