Your engine was made when SuperTigre was being imported by Great Planes and World Engines was trying to still sell the Como products at reasonable prices.
The way I remember it, World Engines - Indy RC were selling both the ST and Como engines. I often wondered about that. The Comos had a lot of ST external parts in them but were different internally as to borte and stroke. The Comos were longer stroke enines than the STs. Finally, Saturno, the ST mfr, sued World Engines/Indy RC to stop them from selling both ST and Como engines. WE finally lost the ST distributorship. I never did find out how WE managed to sell the Comos with so many ST parts.

I made out pretty good when Indy RC sold all their ST/Como parts. I was running ST engines then.
