However, they do not come with a supplied glow plug, that up to the end user to decide, they recommend a cold plug.
On the other hand, the OS 46 engine is Japanese, which means you are getting unquestionable quality but at 35% increase in price.I doubt very much that their parts, between the two engines are interchangeable.
Also, note, Taiwanese quality is often higher than Chinese mainland made equivalents.
Thank you for your feedback. Some of the bits externally will swap between both types but I guess the design inside is differently manufactured. I know that the liner is a ABC according to Just Engines.
