I ran one of these for ages.
Ran on 15% Coolpower, 5% Nitro, Props from 18x10 to 20x8. Used stock muffler and J-Tec. Mostly used OS #8 plug.
My only complaint was the mid-range. Always way too rich until I fitted a Cline regulator, beautiful after that.
Power is about the same as a Moki 1.8, but a more constant speed engine, not as peaky as the Moki. More like a pattern engine, held on better going up, did not wind up as much coming down.
I really don't think this engine deserves a bad name.
I have a brand new in box genuine OS tuned pipe for the BGX-1 if anyone is interested. E-mail me
