Title: What is this Fox Engine?
Post by: Tim Wescott on March 03, 2011, 08:36:37 AM
Is it an older Stunt engine?  Combat?  What?

(It's certainly not the RC engine that the seller thinks it is)

It's one of a million Fox .35 Stunt C/L engines.  The seller doesn't appear to know the difference between R/C and C/L engines. It is an older version- no muffler mounts, the fact he had it running means it is at minimum complete and assembled correctly.

Looks like an older fox 35 stunt..looks to have the 3 bolt back plate. I can't see the venturi very well but it may have been cut down some

With that shinny case I would guess late 70's vintage fot 35 stunt.

With the round venturi and lack of muffler bosses, I took it for a stunt engine, too -- but I wanted to hear from the experts.

It does have two holes, one over and one under the exhaust stack.  Probably tapped for mounting a muffler or a clapper.

That was Fox's second attempt at a muffler for the Stunt engine.

 Back Plale gives it away. 1972 Fox .35 Stunt. The 1973 was the same except the back plate was tumbled like the case.
