Status: offline 		Anyone using this engine? Is it trouble free? How does it compare to a Pro 46 or 46FX? I'm thinking of buying one second hand.

Thanks

I have a .40 and a .50
They are great engines, they take a little longer to break in than OS when their new. And you can`t beat the warranty...3 years I think.
Enya 2str. remind me of the old OS line, the sf and fsr....they were great reliable engines also.
I have a .50fsr on my Sig Something Extra....it can pull right out of a hover.

Status: offline 		I have Enya SS40BB That I acquired in a horse trade a couple years ago. I had to put new bearings in it but it has good compression. I like the motor real well. It starts well hot or cold and requires a minimum of needle adjustment. It transitions well and has never quit on me. It doesn't have as much power as some of the more popular hot rod engines that exist today. But power isn't everything.

There are several different variations of them. Mine has an airbleed carb on it but the ones with the TN suffix have a twin needle carb. Some are ringed and some are Lapped piston types with a cast iron piston in a steel sleeve. The ABC types have a CX prefix and look a little different from the SS variety.

The SS & CX types are shnurle ported. There are some older ones that are loop scavenged types with the baffle piston.

I'm sure you will enjoy your SS45BB very well.

Jim

Status: offline 		Thanks. I appreciate the detailed replies.

This one has "Enya 6301" in the back of the casting and "45 SS" on the side. It is an air bleed carb and appears to have a single ring at the top of the piston, which I can just make out through the exhaust port. The bearings feel good and it seems to have lots of compression.

Should I run this on modern fuel, e.g. 10% nitro, 20% oil blend or does this require a high castor content? Thanks

Also, can I get information about this particular model anywhere?

Thanks & 73,

Jon, W2ANZ

Status: offline 		Use modern day fuel in the engine. 10% nitro and 18% oil is fine. This engine shouldn't be particarly sensitive to wheather you use caster oil in it or not. That engine is not that old. Just treat it like it was one you bought last season. The only problem might be if the engine was never completely broken in. If it is spotless clean, there is a good chance that it is not broken in. However, if it has black burned fuel all over the head, then, there shouldn't be any problem.

Parts should be available from the people that advertise Enya engines. It used to be MRC but they go by a new name like Alltech or someting like that. [url]www.modelrec.com[/url]

I don't have any info on mine because I got it used. If you can get the needles adjusted, you dont really need anthing.

The bearings are the same as that used in a K&B 61 or OS46FX.

There are some guys on here that can make a ring for you if necessary.

Also you could ask here on RCUNIVERSE if you have any problems.

Good luck and enjoy

Jim

I have three of the '45's you just acquired and I also have three .60XF's. I also have a .25 SSBB, an .09, and an .80XF.

Do I have to say that I like ENYA? I would recommend them to anyone as I have had them for years... Had one problem with low compression, sent it back to MRC and they charged for parts only. People have complaints about the service, I've been fortunate to have received excellent results...

As has been stated, they are easy to run after a break-in period and do need the modern fuels.

Enjoy your engine!

Mark

Status: offline 		I use a 40ss, good engine.

If it isn't broken in, be sure to not treat it like an ABC. If memory serves, they need to run a bit richer and slower durring break-in.

my two cents, refunds available on request.
