The thing about the old Enyas at least, seem to be that when you think they should worn out, they are just getting broke in. I have a couple that are easily over 45 years old and they run like a top. 25% or so castor in the old iron piston Enyas, plenty of cooling allowed, and somewhere in the 4 to 4 1/2 or 5 pitch on the props. Most of the older ones in the .15 to .35 size are better suited to a wet 2 run like modern engines. My old Enya .35 with the multiple insert "square" venturi is pretty strong, and been in my possession since about 1965....... give or take a year or so. It will do a decent 4-2 on a 10-5 wide prop if treated right. Smallest venturi insert and low compression head (it came with two heads and three venturi inserts).
