O.S. .12 cv max or associated .15?
I recently purchased a O.S. .12 cv max and was wondering which had more power and which is the better engine. The .12 is a non-pull start and the associated .15 is a pull start. And i would like your opinions on the O.S. engine.Thanks.

Both are good engines IMO both have the same power, but OS is easy to tune and if is non-pullstar will work better and weight less. IMO I will go with OS.
Good luck!!!!!!!!!

Hi
It is a vary dependable engine, and it only has 1/2 a HP. I just put mine in to my NTC3 because of its dependability. You will get between 15 & 20 min. runs with it on one tank of fuel.

it depends on what you want to do and how far you have to go for parts.
the 15 probly has more power than the os12 cv but not the new os T's a 12 is good for racing, its legal and good on milage lol.
hope this lil info helps.

I will be racing it. I was told that the .12 would put out more usable power. One reson is that a pull start makes you lose from 10% to 15% of power.Is that true?Also the non pull start sits lower on the chassi, therefore lowering you center of gravity.

There was no mistake. I said it WOULD sit lower. You HAVE to use a non pull start motor mount which always is lower.

The O.S. .12 CV has a nice smooth powerband, very easy to drive offroad. I have one ported from here to kingdom come with an O.S. Hyper head....wonderful little motor.
