Default OS .46 FX - Weak?

What method of break-in did you use? I believe some of the OS manuals had an error and told you to break-in ABC engines running "4-stroke" rich. Rich "4- stroke" break-in on an ABC type is not a good thing. The piston and sleave don't get hot enough to expand properly causing premature wear and poor compression.
