Naahhh...
How can you lose a great amount of power from an OS FP? It didn't
have squat to begin with. Get a bushed Fox 40 - within an ounce of
the FP weight, twice the power. Don't do it if you don't know how a
carb works though.....you're one the guys the OS was made for.

It sounds like your stinger tube is plugged up...maybe with JB Weld?
With a 9x7 prop, my OS 40 FP gained about 2000 RPM with a MCP over the stock
muffler.....and it gained about 500 RPM over an open exhaust.
You did you use the 6" long by 1 3/4" diameter can, right? If you used the
smaller can, the 40 FP won't run right.
Give a MCP another chance. I'm betting you'll like it too!

actually, I respect Fox engines (even in the morning) but the only one
I own now is an ancient ukie 35.... my leanings are to K&B, ST and
Saito... I'm still hunting for a K&B 7.5 aero to run up against those
Raptor specs.... not that I have anything against the Raptor... but it
isn't sliced bread....

How about the fact that you cann't buy one? That counts as a negative to me.
