need carb for OS FP .15
Anyone out there have a spare carb for an OS FP .15?
Tried to feed mine some brown air (dirt) and it broke off at the case. Great running little engine, would like to get it flying again.
Thanks

RE: need carb for OS FP .15
Figure-out which Carb # that is and call Bob Boumstein / take a look at his site: http://bobsengines.com/current_engine_list.htm
He's got about 15 OS carbs of all descriptions for very reasonable prices.
He's also a pretty good source to buy used (Some new) engines from at mostly better prices than ebay or other auctions.
Good Luck,

This would probably work, fit my OS .10 perfectly:

Thanks All,
I'll try a LA .15 carb.
.15 FP measures 6mm inside and 7mm outside at the throat. Just need to verify that .15 LA is the same.

Dave, do you know the OD of the TT 10 carb? I need a carb for an ancient Enya 19 4004, and I'm thinking it might work. the 4004 has a small throat for a 19.

Yes, do need to drill and tap 2 holes to make the TT carb stay in the OS .10.
(Or a smear of high temp RTV, which has the added benefit of insuring
no air leaks, and is super easy, so guess how I'll do it?)
All the OS units now seem to be set up for the remote needle valves.

RE: need carb for OS FP .15
Dave, I don't understand. You still have to drill and tap the holes, right? You aren't just sticking the carb in with RTV?
Actually, I was thinking of JB Weld.
