I have two ST 40's and yes they are great motors, i also have a tt pro 46 on my tribute. i belive im gonna sell the la and get a tt pro 46. Does anyone want the little LA. It's got mabye 25 flights and your right from the box i havent turned the needle. It comes with everything down to the stickers in the box. If you have a NIB pro 46 around ill swap and add in some money to cover the cost change. i also can send pics.

First of all, I'm on your side and I'm not yelling at you. Nor do I want to make you feel bad. Okay?
Why haven't you turned the needle? You can't possibly know what this, or any other engine, is capable of doing until it is adjusted properly. The only way to learn to adjust an engine properly, is to adjust it. If you need to learn how to adjust an engine, the OS .40 LA is probably one of the best to learn on, since it is non ringed and is not likely to be damaged by running a little too lean. Unlike some other engines we have been talking about.
I wish I had video production capability and enough smarts to post some videos on how to tune glow engines. Why hasn't an engine distributor picked up on this need and filled it? This is probably one of the most difficult mechanical things to learn in this hobby, yet it can be learned so easily with the proper instruction that it is a pity someone hasn't done it as yet.
