OS FS-48 bearing questions
Hello, I have a nib FS-48 and am mounting it on a dazzler. I noticed that the bearings feel pretty rough. The rest of it looks new. No signs of corrosion. I dripped kroil in it and on front bearing but doesn't seem any better. Does hobby services still support this engine? Will running it possibly smooth out the bearing? What do you suggest?
thank you!

It looks like boca bearings may have the right bearing. Is it possible for hobby services to use an aftermarket bearing? I'm just not sure I can change it myself. Thank you!

There are several videos on YouTube on the dis-assembly, bearing removal, and reassembly of OS four stroke engines such as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_HrTCCO-GY.
