Default Newly acquired Fox .15

The X went through several iterations. The one in the lower left is the first X, note that it has no muffler provisions. The others shown mount the muffler with over/under screws. I also have one on an Akromaster that has muffler ears on the sides of the stack.

Note that the steelfins have no provisions for muffler. The one with the "square" fins is the first version.

  • I realize this is an older conversation article on a Fox.15, but I still have questions not answered in the blog. What fuel ratio do these use, is it the same as a Fox35? Where does one obtain gaskets? Is a gasket between the cylinder and crankcase necessary? I hope someone still reads these.
