Default RE: *** CLUB SUPER TIGRE ***

I read an article on the web today (should have marked it) from a self proclaimed Super Tigre expert. He said the fix to ST carb mid range problem was in glow plug selection. Not to throw an OS F or other hot plug or even an OS 8 in them. The fix was (silence) Idle bar plug After all these were invented with Super Tigre in mind. It was pointed out , that it was an issue of timing for low and high end which effected tuning. Just like throwing high nitro in a Super Tigre won't give good results. I have always used FOX IDLE BAR LONGS in tigres and all other engines I use with good (last for seasons) results. I will have to do an experiment and put a hot plug in and see if tuning and mid range chages and see if I gain 200 RPM which is claimed by some ,that an idle bar plug will cause..........The only engine I own that does not run a Fox RC long is a TIGER SHARK 61 that made funny sounds on cold start up and 1 member suggested a K&B 1L plug was the only plug that engine liked. He was right on . Hot or cold outside that engine never made another funny sound..........
