HELP Old OS 46fx and tuned pipe
I have a really old OS 46SF that I bought new. I had about as much time on it as the one you will be getting. It seemed real tired and would overheat a lot. Turned out I was using too hot a plug. I switched to the OS no. 8 plug and it is like having a new engine! The Performance Specialties Ultrathrust muffler works great. I also heard that the similar Tower one works well too. Try the plug first.

I was using a Fox Miracle standard long plug with idle bar. Found out later that it was a really hot plug. The OS No. 8 is a medium heat plug. They're kind of expensive, but worth it to me.
