i posted my comments to show my personal experience with the chinese 2300 engine and carb. i wonder about some of the problems some describe - i also have heard that the big tigers had carb problems so i decided to try the 2300. i am sure that the comments made are from modleres who are also describing their own experiences. but as mine is different from those i believe the readers here should know mine as well.

i think some of the problems described are due to carbs, some are due to tuning, some are due to fuel issues, fuel tanks, etc. some are also probably due to break-in - that is, the big ringed engines need fairly long break-in, and i question whether a gallon of fuel is enough for break-in on these bigger tigers. for my g90s it seems like they need between a gallon and a gallon and a half before they settle in to run well. so maybe a 2300 would need 2-3 gallons to get to the same point. i know mine needed close to 2 gallons before ir ran its best. and i have heard that the mokis need a fairly long break-in also. so maybe the 3250 would take over 3 gallons. i have now bought a second chinese 2300 and a chinese 3250 and this spring i will find out more about these engines. i am too wimpy to do break-in when it is 20-35 degrees out here in ohio, so i will wait until it's 55 or above .
