[NSRCA-discussion] OS 140 EFI

[R. LIPRIE]

Hey Ryan,

I know I was wrong. After I looked back on some stuff. I forgot it was the RX's with the bearing problem. Anyway sorry. And also I didn't mean to say lots of us use YS. I though I typed OS is a very good engine and lots of us. Use YS and OS equally.

Thanks: Matt

  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?
