Magnum Engines

Would someone please tell me the differences between Magnum XL and Magnum XLS engines.

Thanks, Harlan

I'm no expert, but seeing as how nobody else has replied so far, I'll take a stab at it:

XL and XLS are simply naming conventions for series of engines like O.S. has FX or AX series 2-strokes. The XLS series Magnums are generally the newest

2-stroke designs. 2-stroke series engines with the XL designations are generally older designs, all though in some cases they are still the model currently being offered.

The 4-stroke series engines still carry the XL designation, but are labled with the RFS tag (Ringed Four Stroke) at the end of the name.

A Magnum XL .46 would denote an older .46-size Magnum 2-stroke where as the current model is the Magnum XLS .46A. The Magnum XL .52 RFS is the current model of .52-size four stroke.

This is all a bit arbitrary, confusing, and not particularly useful. Wish I'd known something more useful to share with you.
