My boys washed my old OS 10 in the hand basin today. Nice and clean, but...
All good though, we ran it on the bench to dry it out. Really really tricky to start as the compression isn't flash, but the main problem is that it doesn't have muffler pressure and the carby is very poor at pulling fuel up. Tank position is really critical and in a model would be quite hopeless. Cooper is still keen to put it in his model, so I may as well give it to him as I can't see myself actually using it.
Thanks for the offer though Greg.
This is a GMS 32 (2000) that I bought of RC Trader for $50. Came with a CL venturi, but he had the original RC carb in a box somewhere. Runs like a dream compared to the old OS 10...
I guess that's modern design compared to something that was good back in the 60's or 70's.

Everyone knows that REAL ENGINES are used by REAL men. Eklectic motors are best left for use in toothbrushes and other unnecessary things.
