RE: os .12 for max st
3 things
1. That's not a pullstart engine
2. Used engines are a bad idea
3. You have to do more than unhook the throttle, and you also have to break the engine in.

RE: os .12 for max st
Can i ask why the heck you bid so early on it? All that does is make you pay more for it...
I only bid for something in the last 20 seconds or less of the auction.
And be careful with ebay engines...

#1) I'd have upped to the .12, better too have too much power that not enough
#2) Never ever buy a used engine.
#3) Stay away from ebay engines, unless they are new, even then be careful. When they say 'has lots of compression' that's often bull. Why are they selling a perfectly good engine then? Prolly because it's shot and they want to sell it for money to put toward a new engine. Lol, and it's funny, every used engine on ebay always says, 'has about one gallon of odonnel run through it', lol, every used engine, one gallon, lol. Say you buy it, okay you may be in luck and get a decent engine, but any used engine is gonna be further along in it's life than a new one. Any nitro engine is only gonna last for so long, so a used engine may have 25-75% of it's life left, or it may be shot all together. Cause if you pay $30 for an engine that needs a new piston/sleeve, you might as well have bought new. I have bought engines on ebay, I know how it is, trust me.
