OS 160FX setup

[Rcmaster199 at aol.com]

There's absolutely no trick to the topper tank arrangement Wayne has  
referred to. It is simple set-up and works as well as any pump set-up on the  OS160 
sport engine. I have been using a 16 oz over the cg (standard tank, not  
bladder) and a 4 oz behind the firewall for several years in a 12 pounder. 
 
The plumbing is simple as follows: pipe pressure to main tank vent; main  
tank feed to topper tank vent; topper tank feed to carb.

On the ST2300 if you use the Perry pump you also  need to use the Perry carb. 
 I have one now that I am still running and  once its set I had to barely 
make any adjustments over the whole season.   Putting it in a Funtana 90 right 
now...should be a blast!!
 
Art Waggner flies FAI and uses the OS 1.60 quite  successfully with no pump.  
 He runs the tank behind the firewall  and uses a bladder tank and runs 
muffler pressure.

The instructions on  the website are pretty clear.  I’ve seen one run on an 
OS 1.6 all  summer, and it was flown very hard.  It was flown in a 24% Extra 
300 and I  have put it through its paces numerous times, and never had an issue 
with  it.  We ran Cool Power 15%  through it, and I don’t remember ever having 
to touch a needle.  I saw Bob is no longer recommending  this, and he has a 
lot of runs on his OS 1.6 with the Perry pump, however I  ran that Perry pump 
on a Super Tiger 2300 and could not get it to run  consistently at all, so I 
guess its all a matter of personal preference,  just like anything else we do…
the only thing you would ever need to replace  would be the diaphragm, which 
they will replace for free.
