Tbobflow

No, they are very different. The SP has an unusual steel adapter with male threads on both sides. The threads in the head are much larger than the FS-91.

Tbob, I have one, and I spent a considerable amount of time trying to get it to run properly. It was on an old GP Ultra Sport 1000, and while it sounded great and had decent power, I had a lot more...

Perhaps you are using a Pitts style muffler? Many of these do not provide enough pressure to the tank for proper fuel flow. I don't think I have ever seen a pressurized system need over 4 turns on...

Coded, If the headrest is only cracked, I would reinforce it inside with some balsa or fiberglass. As for the receiver, with 7 channels you could have one channel for each aileron ;). What I did...

Gene, On mine, the fixed ring (the one on the fuse) was a little too large for the cowl to easily slip over it. I sanded it down a bit until the cowl was an easy fit. You might try that.

Mine is my first biplane bigger than a .15, so I was a little nervous the first time I flew it. However, the WACO flies very predictably. I don't know your history, but you have been on RCU for...

Gene, you have to figure that GP meant for customers to use any or all of the plates. I wouldn't worry one bit about it. BTW, I have 2 120 AX's, and they are great engines. Your plane will have a...

Not sure which screw you are speaking of. The two phillips-headed screws that fasten many OS carbs to the engine can be difficult to remove. If that is the one giving you problems, you need to have...

Can someone tell me if I should see my reply to a personal message somewhere? It does not show up in my "sent" box nor is it shown with the original PM. Thanks!

Hi Frank,
I have one of those engines that also needed a carb. I removed the carb from a junk OS SF-46 and it fit and worked perfectly. I think that you could use the carb off a lot of older...

I was afraid you were going to say that. I had thought of drilling the heads off, but since the bolts are only available with a new rod, that would certainly be a last (expensive) resort.

Thanks...

I re-read your original post more carefully. In my experience, the air bleed carbs on the small OS 4-strokes run too rich. If it speeds up before it dies, probably it is going lean, then runs out...
