Hey John I have an old Irvine with a gold head, like this. I partly learned to fly with this engine and a dumb thumb incident broke the muffler. It is the Q-72 and had the extra long two chambered muffler.The muffler you see is an MVVS

That was just, what 15 years ago or so? I doubt newer models from anyone else is more powerful other than perhaps Jett. Of course there are a very few older models more powerful.

The Owners Manual/Sheet has the date Jan. 1990 and there's an addendum or "Updated Carburetor Instructions" dated April, 1991... 23 years old and never run.

I thought the Eagle 4 was much later. Still more powerful than most other brands though.

I have an un-run ABC .74 with tilt down muffler that I obtained circa 1992. It will eventually go in the classifieds as I have no interest in it. (after I get a replacement stop screw for the carb which I borrowed years ago for something else..).

Thrown in the trash.

The irrational rage and vicious name calling without provocation about BW offers a glimpse of the problem we had with this person. It ain't happening here anymore.
I don't hold it against him.

He's going through something that I couldn’t even imagine going through.

BW, I thought you were going to use the Fox engine. Now you're selling it?
it looked like a great engine too.

Earl, maybe it's time we mentioned that the Fox .60 has nearly same bore and stroke as a MOKI .61 long stroke and the MVVS .61. The Fox .60 has a bore of .905" and the stroke is .937". The MOKI and the MVVS are 23mm bore and 24mm stroke. The early MOKI was 24mm bore x 22.5mm stroke.

Yes that is true, the Fox engines are long stroke engines. That does allow for the ports to be slight large in size thus letting the engine flow a little more air/fuel through it.

I forgot to mention earlier, that I do not have a problem with the Phillips screws on the Fox engines. But if they had gotten buggered up (from a previous owner) I usually replace them then. Like BW stated you have to use the correct screw drivers on the screws then you don't have any problems.

It'll go to a collector of Fox engines.
