Do you happen to have your ST.40 inverted and fully enclosed inside that nice cowl the Contender has?
I had the .40 model and selected to mount the engine upright, under the wood mounting beams, to get the carburettor and the fuel tank center-line at the same level.
Nope, I have it mounted upright, like yours, but on top of the rails. I just may have to relocate it to the underside of the rails if possible. Here's a pic of it ready to fly. Just to clarify, it didn't run lean on me to the point that it quit. Once i heard the engine break into the clean two-stroke sound, I throttled back and landing. I have the idle set so it's a 4-stroke idle, plenty of fuel. I never thought of mounting the engine under the engine rails. I'll see if that will work. I'm running a Sullivan 8 ounce tank with my ST GS40.
