Don't know about the reedy engine, but the P5 has never let me down in like 6 years. Had a few of them....It's not a set it and forget it engine, but if you listen to it, it will tell you what to do....

RB B10 is easy to tune and is very reliable.

os are very good motors and i have never had a problem tuning them

Neither is hard to tune. OS is no easier. I have both. understanding what it's telling you is the key.

im trying to understand what the motor is telling but i still dont understand it. i guess little by little, ill just keep trying to figure it out.

segui305 07-12-2010 11:59 AM

is there any other engine that are easier to tune???

vti-chris 07-12-2010 12:35 PM

What about GRP engines-now Tecnopower...any input??
The tuned one??

Chris Reilly 07-12-2010 12:49 PM

The GRP's tuned different than others. The Nova Rossi/RB/Reedy/OS are all pretty easy to tune. Some react to small carb adjustments quicker. The tuning bible on here should help quite a bit. I havn't read it so I don't know exactly what is in it.

Haven't really experienced any engine that was "hard" to tune (besides engines with ceramic front bearing - that can be quite a pain to tune), but in my experience the OS engines are better at holding a tune.

In my team we run 2 different brands of engines: Ninja JX and SH engines. Ninja JX as the "top engine" and SH as the cheap alternative. I run the Ninja engine (which is an OS), and I pit (and tune) a SH. While they both a pretty easy to tune (if you know what you are doing), the Ninja JX holds that tune the entire day - while the SH needs to be re-tuned a couple of times a day.
