I also had (and still have) a really nasty Super Tigre G20 15D diesel. It was made from cast off parts and worn out parts. (We were kids and we did not have much cash then so any motor that we could get was going to be used). It would run and run and run but it was totally clapped out. We called it "Joe Superloose" and if you got it tuned right you could win races with it. But get it slightly overcompressed or lean and it would slow down but not stop and you would have to limp along until the fuel ran out. Very embarrassing. Despite this, it would start easily hot or cold but with a Bartel's fibreglass prop it was deadly on the fingers and by this time I had learned to always use some form of finger protection.
