fox stallion
« on: June 08, 2007, 04:41:56 PM »
Looking thru my engines, I ran across a Fox 35 with "Stallion" embossed on the side of the crankcase.  I have the following information on the engine; ~^

1. The Owners Manual has a date of Nov 25, 1978,
2.  The WT, DISP, RPM, and PROP has the same info as the standard Fox 35,
3. There are 4 screws that holds on the backplate,
4. There are no bosses for a muffler to bolt to.

How is this Fox Stallion engine different than the regular Fox engine.

I'll be interested in the comments on this post, because I have a "Stallion 35", but I don't think it's a Fox.  I think I read somewhere that it is a cheaper McCoy(if that's possible), or a "knock-off" from one of the other engine makers.  Also, it's quite a bit heavier than a Fox 35.   Glen

Come to think of it, mine is probably the K&B.  It looks a lot like a Torpedo 35 I had in an earlier life.  The Stallion I have has a black venturi insert made of some kind of black plastic, if that means anything.   Glen

Hi Michael,

It is a K&B if it says Stallion on it.  The same overall look of the Green Head K&B except for the exhaust pointing down when profile mounted.  It was a lower cost engine to compete with the McCoy Red Head 35.  Fox did the same thing with it's "Rocket" 35. 

They had a black plastic ventrui restrictor.

There is no way I can adequately describe to you guys the relief I'm experiencing from knowing that what I've got is a K&B Stallion.  Now, maybe I can get a decent night's sleep. Z@@ZZZ.  I had made a pretty significant investment in this engine ($5), and the uncertainty and buyer's remorse was getting to me.  Thanks again!!!!  Glen
