Seriously? not in the least......I just believe that OS used to produce excellent engines that were show and go. Nowadays I question their quality. The last straw was when they stopped putting phospher bronze valve seat inserts in the four stroke heads. Now the valve runs directly in the cast aluminum and the valve seat is cut in the aluminum head and is plated. It saddens me how people are loyal to an engine manufacturer that keeps cutting corners in design quality to improve their profit margin and not pass on some of their savings to the loyal consumer. Fox manufacturing would still be producing powerful engines if it were not for other manufacturers forcing them to bow out. Think about it. OS is saying give me your money sucker and i'll give you a mediocre engine with an awesome carb.
