[NSRCA-discussion] OS 140 EFI

[Ryan Smith]

Matt,

 

Not to bust your chops, but you may want to research what you say before you
say it. 

 

Firstly, the OS 1.40 EFI that Randy was referring to does not have an issue
with bearings going bad. They come stock with a sealed rear bearing, and
when someone refers to changing a bearing out on an RX, they're putting in a
bearing for the EFI. Also, I would wager to say that there are about the
same number of people using YS as there are using OS.

 

Back on track, what Mr. Michael said was correct. But to fill in a couple of
areas, the injectors go bad when used with a soft mount. If you use a
relatively stiff mount such as the Budd or Hyde 'A' mount, you shouldn't
have difficulties. I actually have two of them but have yet to use them in
anything. I will be flying one for sure in my next airplane, and if I build
a backup, it will have the other one in it. It is my understanding that the
EFI runs a lot more consistent, and has really good power. I would recommend
you talk to Eric Henderson; he seems to be the guru of OS fuel injected
engines. If you need to locate a few, it is my understanding that Dave
Lockhart has some that he may part with, and I hope he doesn't mind me
posting this on the list.

 

Take care all,

 

Ryan

Hey Glenn,

 

    The reason why is because. Lots of us use YS engines. And because the os
140s have a major bearing problem. You will have to change the bearing.

Anybody have an opinion about the OS140 EFI?  I have seen very few being
used,  other than price is there a reason?

 

Randy
