However, he didn't ask about using a throttled engine. He asked if he could lock the throttle wide open and run it as a C/L engine and the answer is yes.

At least that's what the OS parts manuals says and I tend to believe that. That and I have both types of engines and and the only differences are the venturi or carburator. The choke area of the 4B and 4BK carbs is less than the straight venturi but that just affects the total output. If you interchange them both engines run the same as when the carb/venturi combination was reversed. I've tried that.
I run both my 40 and 45's on either a 10x6 or 11x6 and have never had an overheating problem.

Thanks
