Ken,
Thank you very much for your great input, I respect your valuable advice.
Thank you Bruce. Great explanation of JBA lol
I'm gonna try for the first time in my life O.S. or Super Tigre, I gotta save up some money, I'd go for O.S. 55AX or Super Tigre G51
*Just another thought, SK is pretty much in the same category as JBA
I have both and are both great engines. The OS 55AX has more power and easier to get going out of the box. But it is also considerably more expensive ($160 vs. $100 or less). The Super Tigre 51 has the unique muffler that is a love-or-hate design. I used them for a while and are very quiet and can be rotated. But they are also very heavy, ended up replacing with Macs one-piece-mufflers.
Another thing, the Super Tigre 51 is a ring engine. So it will be easier/cheaper to change out when it wears out. The carb tuning is harder for me than the OS, but once you get the hang of it, it is easy to tune and start.
