Thats why I have a Mintor 1.70 on order.   Weights the same as an OS 1.40 and drops right in the same spot.   Now you cant argue over the price of the OS 1.6 though.  To bad they dont put an integrated fuel pump on it.   BTDT with the S.T.2300 setting up external pump and such...  doent seem to be worth it in the long run.  PLus the added equipment(pump,fittings) adds weight and relaiblity concerns.
SOS...   sorry off subjuct.
