Default OS 70 FS

Are the carbs reversible on all the OS 70 four strokes? I want to flip it around so the throttle arm is on the muffler side of the engine.

Thanks,
Joel

I have the OS 70 Surpass I (it has a shiny metal valve cover) and I reversed the carb on it with no problems. The Surpass II can also be reversed. I don't know about the original FS series or the new FL70.

Thanks Carrell. I didn't want to pull it out of the plane it's in unless I was reasonably sure that most of them were reversible.

Thanks,
Joel

You can turn the carb around very easily. Unscrew, turn, remount.
