Hi guy's, interesting responses already
Ok my thoughts about the DS 40 seem confirmed by Randy's reply,
that is their power & torque output is in Fox 35 ballpark:)
that leaves the 40 FP (fully - reworked) v the Brodak 40,
I think the FP has a bit of an advantage over the B40 as it's been around
for quite a few years now and the rework technique tried & proven, whereas
what I've heard & read about the B40 is more about the early quality issues
as far as outright power comparisions to the FP it maybe still a darkhorse against
the FP...........I'm not sure, but I'll wait for some more responses about these 2 motors.
As far as the DS is concerned, well I've heard nothing but praise for their quality,
Peabody is on the mark about the Magnum 40 ABC , but I'm more interested in these 3 motors that produce the traditional 4-2-4 run.
The later ABC motors are in a different leauge again, Mag 40 & Mag 36 from what
I've read run more of a constant wet 2 stroke.........
Like to hear from B40 owners ........not the quality issues, but performance......
