Default OS50 SX-H 5B carb

Anyone know if the 5B carb is the stock carb fitted to the OS50. If its not, whats the difference between the 5B and the stock carb?

skycom,

The O.S. Max .50 SX-H heli engine comes with a #40E carb. The #5B carb came on the old O.S. Max .50 FSR-H. They are entirely different design carburetors.

The old #5B came with the idle mixture adjustement screw in the center of the throttle arm. The #40E uses an idle mixture valve that's similar to the carbs in the larger engines.

The #5B is very similar in construction to the #60F carb used in the O.S. Max 1.60 FX.

You can check the exploded views of the #40 E and #60F at:

skycom,

Don't know why Bax didn't mention it but according to the parts breakdown on the Tower Hobbies site the OS .50SX (not the heli version) comes with the #40B Carb, which is the same used for both the OS .46FX and OS .40FX.
