Bills,
That maybe? is true but the very low price tag often only interests the newbies with low knowledge about the ST carb.
I havent had one single deadstick on my Supertigers since two years back and I can make any supertiger engine run very reliable but I can not make them run good[] unless the carburetor is changed.

The sad thing is that ST really makes good engines but doesnt seem too care much about the carb. issues[&o] and most sell out their engines for half the price of other brand engines with the good or better carburetors.

They havent heard the saying "customer is the KING" and should visit the sorry!!! I meant the OS fabric in Japan to learn something about customer requirements.

Kweasel,
OS runs good on 0-5% nitro and so does the Saito on 5-10%, but they can also handle a lot more nitro for the best operation and performance.
