Does someone out there know how much the MDS 1.48 engine weighs with the muffler installed? I am considering using this engine for a project, and I need a precise weight for this engine to the nearest tenth of an inch. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I have three, let me know what muffler you have in mind and I'll rig one up to weigh tomorrow, a Bisson Sport muffler or a Bisson Pitts style

I would appreciate it if you could get the weight of the MDS 1.48 engine with a stock muffler, Bisson sport muffler and Bisson Pitts muffler. Also, what performance do you get with these three types of mufflers? Do you happen to know what RPM you get for certain sizes of props? The more information I can get, the better. Thank you so much for your help.

The engine you see is just broken in and if memory serves me well it turned a 16x8 Mejslick at 9,400 rpm on Fox 5% nitro fuel with 20%/50/50 lube and a H9 SuperPlug.

Thank you very much for the help. However I have one more question: what muffler did you have on the engine when you tached it?

The Bisson Sport Muffler was the one tested, the Bisson Pitts you see there resides on another MDS 1.48 that is converted to Diesel and turns 16x8 Graupner three blade at just under 9,000.

Thank you very much for all the information you have given me. I really appreciate how you went out of your way to help me, it really helped me out a lot. I think that this is all the information I need. Thanks again!

You are most welcome.
