The one I have has been taken apart and checked out . All looked fine to the naked eye. When I tried the Perry carb and pump they checked out as well. And as for the tank , it was taken apart and rebuilt 3 or 4 times. I did learn alot about this engine and could tune , break-in and generally have an easy time of things if I were to get another one that worked right. I haven't had any offers for a new one from Tower yet so I guess they don't read these threads. I order 90% of my parts from them so maybe they will give me a break if I sent it back. Although I've had to do the JB Weld trick on two stock mufflers ,, the motor is in good shape.
Again I want to thank Bob Pastorello for helping me with this engine. Considering he is one of the top G2300 experts in the world, my case should be cut and dried that mine was a lemon. I'm going to call Tower Monday morning and talk with them. Not just being a Super Saver member but a loyal customer of Tower I will say they have always done me right.

Why keep trying the G2300 ? A friend bought a new one recently, mounted it to a plane , broke it in on that plane and hasn't had a deadstick one. Regular tubing, stock everything except muffler (Slimline Pitts..no blocked pipes). Runs great.

The guys with the good ones find all this trouble we are having hard to believe. Don't you ?
