Any reason why you want to replace the carbs? The Fox carbs have always been good and easy to tune. The early ones were different and required different tuning method but still good.

Hi Carl.
I checked the backplate and the rubbing happens without it installed. I will reheat the engine and tap down on the bearings this evening. There can't be any other possibilities because...

I worked it to quite loose with the polishing compound and old bearings. Both...

I'm done loosening the Fox 40 crankcase to shaft interference. I used ATF and some silver polish I found around the house. It took a lot of turning but it was the safest route to loosening the case....

It seems to be working. The crankshaft spins freely but I think a little less friction is better. Will run a thicker mix of oil and silver polish this evening.

The crank is fine. It fit well in the old crankase that broke. It's only the new crankcase is too tight between the front and main bearings.

I think the tilt-up mufflers were meant for side or inverted mounting. Tilt-up mufflers might not be good if the engine is mounted upright because it causes accumulation of exhaust fluids in it.

Yeah, I planned on 5% nitro on all those variants. But I wasn't sure about the 20% all castor or 10% castor and 10% synthetic. 20% castor will be one heck of a slimy mess on the planes.
