Well, I finally figured out what the heck size Allen wrench to use on the head and muffler bolts (screws) on my Brodak engines!  I imagine this is not any revelation to many who have these engines but I just discovered that it takes a 2.5mm Allen wrench to fit the darn bolt heads correctly.  I have, maybe, 6 sets of Allen wrenches three of which are metric.  None of the metric sets included a 2.5mm wrench so, not being familiar with the metric set up, I didn't know that a 2.5mm wrench existed.   My son gave me a set of metric allen wrenches this past Christmas which did contain a 2.5.  Just got around to trying it yesterday and it worked!

As I mentioned, this probably isn't news to most but, in the past, I have ask a number of people who have Brodak engines and no one seemed to know.  Just didn't ask the right people, I guess.

Alan,

Thanks for the tip on the Bondhaus wrenches.  Seems I never have quite the right size wrench I need.  I'll try a search on the net & see if I can find Bondhaus Allen wrenches.

Yes, the Bondhaus are the way to go. They are shorter, and have way better gripping handles. The hobby shop Du-Bro variety are too long and never seem to fit any where in the shop drawers, field boxes, etc!
