Anyone have a copy of an OS FS-90 instruction manual that they are willing to share? Lost mine somehow, or maybe I just forgot about that special place I where I left it(senior CRS syndrome). Anyhow, I'll remember the doner in my will (LOL).

How much info do you require? the usual requests relate to the timing =
On the ring gear that's installed in the rear housing of the O.S. Max FS-90 engine, you'll see the ends of three screws and one small dot. When the piston is at Top Dead Center, the dot is centered at the top. When you install the rear housing, remove the small cover at the back...it's held in with a rubber o-ring. You can use your finger on the head of the screw that's there to keep the cam assembly from rotating while you install the housing onto the engine. Please note that if you must take the cam assembly apart, the screw at the rear has a REVERSE thread, and you must turn it clockwise to loosen it, otherewise you may break it off, and then your engine will be toast, since parts are not available to make that repair.

I have one that belongs to an engine with a busted case. Email me your address and I will drop it in the mail to you.
