Magnum Summer Sale
N7 and Jim:
I get irritated about Magnum prices too. Love the engines, but if you check the parts lists you'll find every part of the XLS 40 will interchange with the XLS 46 except the piston and sleeve, and the head.
They say the crankcases do not interchange, but the only difference is one says "40" and the other says "46."
This being the case, where the @#$ do they get off charging $20 more for the 46?
The 46 uses less brass, with the thinner sleeve, the piston has just a little more aluminum. The brass costs more, so the 46 really should cost less than the 40 to produce.
And the 46 price should be lower, or at least no higher, than the 40.
Bill.
