New Engine

I am planning to buy a new .12 or .15 engine. What do you guys recommend? It has to have a rotary carb. Thanks.

RE: New Engine

What vehicle are you planning on using it in? Do you want side or rear exhaust?

The two manufacturers I'd look at are Fantom and OS.

RE: New Engine

Yes, I am looking at O.S. engines, but my brother told me it would be difficult to pull-start. Is this even true?

RE: New Engine

There are several OS engines available with pull starts and rotary carburetors.

OS 12 CV-RX
OS 15 CV-RX

OS 12 CV-X
OS 15 CV-X

OS 18 CV-RX

RE: New Engine

I have an OS .12 cv-rx with a pullstart, real easy to pull and no problems starting. Usually starts on the 1st or 2nd pull. Idles and runs real good and easy to tune.

RE: New Engine

do you guys think there's much difference between the cv-rx and the cv-x in terms of durability, reliability and tuning ability?
