  George,  you are very hard to please!  I think the guy who made this  
knew what he was doing.    I'd like to know the weight too.   One  
thing is for sure, a belt drive has to have two sprockets,  upper  and  
lower shafts,  prop flange and so on.  They all weigh at least 40  
lbs.   I think weight could be saved back by incorporating the  
alternator in the drive similar to Briggs and Stratton, likewise the  
forward engine mounts.  Make that extra structure earn its keep.      
Jerry
