Hi guys,
I don't know anything about the OS Max 46 VF or the OS 40 VF Engines. It seems like there is a lot of the OS 40 VF Engines out there but I don't hear anything about the OS 46 VF, does this engine performance the same as the 40?? I would guess you would run the 46 on a pipe the same as the 40, probably a different length? Is it better to have the 40 or the 46? Does the 46 weigh less than the 40, or more? How much fuel does these engines need? I looked into search and didn't seem to find much on the subject, maybe just me, Gary
HI Gary
They work very well, I setup over a hundred of these motors for CL use, Many people such as Ted Fancher , Bill Rich, Windy , Ed Southwick Billy Werwage etc. used these with great success, I personally liked the 46 much better than the 40, it had much more power reserve and would spin a 12 inch 3 blade or a 12.5 inch 2 blade with ease.
I still have many many parts for these VF 40 and 46 engines such as 46 stock P|S and special AAC 46 piston sleeves
Bearings crankshafts of course I have or make venturies NVA and pipes and headers for these also
We used the 51 pipe on the 46 and the 40-45 pipe for the 40
The 40 best prop I have ever seen is the Bolly 11.75 x 4.25 cut to 11.5 inches
The 46 work very well on the Bolly 12 x 4.25 3 blade or 12.25 x 4.25 2 blade these were pretty much bolt on and fly fits on both motors
we ran both at 17.5 to 18.5 inches on pipe tuning ,that will depend on prop selection engine RPMs
Regards
Randy
