Parts? Leo .15 & Ofna .12
« on: November 22, 2014, 06:34:28 PM »
Hi all -
I got these ABC engines in a "grab box" of mostly RC car stuff and, not being familiar with either brand, hope someone can point me to a source for parts.........
if they're worth the trouble.

The Leo's used but the piston still has top pinch so I suspect it's OK; needs a prop driver and nut.
The Ofna appears new (except for a bit of black paint loss here and there) and unmounted; it's missing the head and possibly shim/gasket.

Anyone familiar with them?

TNX.

Terry

You might check with "Just Engines" in England for the Leo parts...if JE is still in business. Otherwise, see if OS parts will fit. I believe they're made in either Taiwan or PRC...should say on the case.

The Ofna parts should be available from your local R/C car shop or Tower Hobby or other online source for R/C car parts.  H^^ Steve

Hi Steve -

J E doesn't sell Leo now and lists no parts for them.

This Ofna is likely an older series - crankcase doesn't look like the current car versions - but haven't found a parts source for the new ones either.

May be a better idea to sell them as RC car parts anyhoo.

Another possibility -

I measured the Leo .15 crankshaft at the prop driver seat and it's .305 & .285 on the flat - way smaller than OS.

Anyone willing to measure your .10 - .19 shafts to see if any match?

Tnx.

Terry.

It's possible that the Ofna is a car engine and originally had a heat sink head. You'd probably need to have a replacement made for Aeroplane use. Or else find something with matching bore and fit that, although there may still be some machining involved.

Good luck

Greg

I suspect you're right Greg, as all reference I found to Ofna is car-related.
However, I have both heads for the Leo, so it's only issue is a prop driver - I hope someone can match the dimensions to a replacement.
