Bummer about the Fox Manuf. not producing more engines!!! I was going to rebuild an old classic pattern Phoenix 8 plane I bought used and put the Fox 74 in it with a Jett muffler. I wonder if I should just store the engine away for posterity instead.
Barring a bad crash, rings and bearings are readily available. Put a couple Bowman rings on the shelf as spares and run the snot out of it.
I've not used the new TN carb, and I have not ran the .46 with the EZ carb yet either. So my Fox experience is limited to the MkX carb which is an auto-mixture carburetor much like the newer TN carb. I'm not a fan of the butterfly Carburetors on my Twin at all.
