Guys,

The needle of my OS 46FX is set up to 1, 25 turns. What about yours?

Thank you for your inputs.

46 needle

I have mine around 1- 1&1/8 turns and it does not run hot. I run a governor at 1800 RPM and my gearing is 8.4/1

It's a fairly new engine and I will continue to lean it to get more power as it gets another gallon or two through it.

It purrs like a kitten, one of the best idling engines I've owned and isn't near as thirsty as the OS-50.

I'm running 15% CP in it and I am about to get some CP 30% next week and will see if it gets much stronger, I know I'll have to richen it up to run the 30%.

Mate,

It sounds strange to me that you run it almost at 1 turn. I run 10% nitro and If I lean it to 1 turn or very close to it then for sure it will become too hot. I am looking forward to my brand new Weston low nitro one piece pipe. BTW my gear ratio is 9.62.
