That is great news. They should be able to pick right up where they left off in no time flat.

This is great news! Let's hope we can convince them to redesign the .15 muffler assembly into something more standard!

Hear, hear!!! Some pics please and country of manufacture.

I wonder if these are NORVELs made by the finest AP factories in China. If it's a Chinese product, it may not be any better than the WASP.

As I understand it there is a pile of old stock that was never sent to distributors. I would like to believe this is true, but who knows. My attempt to buy them three years ago went nowhere. I saw quantities and prices, but there was no progress after that. Regardless the pricing wasn't reasonable. I seriously doubt this is new manufacture, but if it is, that's excellent news.

I bought a new 74 from Alex, the poster of this thread, along with spare plugs and wrenches. (You can see the engine on my "scratch built Integral" thread). I have ordered a bunch of other parts- wrist pins, rods, pistons, NVA's and stuff for both 74's and 61's from him. I would be happy to post back when I get them in and let you know. The prices seemed reasonable, at least to me.

How much was the 074? The prices were unreasonable from the standpoint of buying the lot and trying to sell them and make money while supporting the product and earning a living for a while.

Were the Cox engines by the same manufacturer, and is the 15 with the perry carb worth the effort to build a cute little bird for it?? Found one that appears unused in the bottom of my deep dark engine cabinet. Thanks as always!!! ENJOY

The "Cox with a perry carb on it" is a real barn burner. That is the K&B/Cox Conquest, and is a very fast engine.

Your deep dark engine cabinet seems to be a treasure chest

The Cox Conquest was almost as good as a Rossi of the period, the r/c version is not as hot as the FF/CL but still very nice engine, after such a long storage period it might need some TLC
(specially the carb and lubrification)

I have 2 of the RJL Conquest .15 and they are very powerful. The only reason the RC version is not as powerful is the CL? FF version has a more optimized venturi. They just breath better is all. You can swap the venturi for the carb. I have a couple of the button plug heads that seem to add some power as well. Great little engine.

Default RE: NORVEL engines and parts are back

I believe the original Cox engines, before K&B and others started making them, had different sleeve timing on the intake &exhaust - they are the ones that had the power in the FF/UC version vs. the RC version. The RC version was tamed down a bit to make it a little more user friendly. Still pretty potent.

There's a guy by the name of Ron Young that posts around in the forums from time to time - he has some parts & can really make 'em sing with new ABC piston/sleeve combos, etc. I have a Ron Young custom that was done back in the thick of .15 sized quarter midget racing, and it was very nicely done.

Re Conquests: Here's a video of the first bench run of my Conquest .15 R/C.. this is a Ron Young reworked Conquest with ABC P/L set, hence what looks like new engine abuse but really isn't. For reference his rework might have gained 1000rpm over stock. The prop is an old Bartels G/F Cox 7x3.5 copy, it was the trick FAI FF prop of the day back then.
