I got a new super tigre engine yesterday. It is a G90 ringed. I put it in the test stand to break it in today. I got everything ready and started the thing up. It started right up but didn't seem to be acting quite right and would not respond to the needle valve. Then i noticed fuel leaking from the engine. I thought it was coming out of the exhaust port like the muffler wasn't on tight.
Anyway to make a long story short, i decided i would check the headbolts. They were all almost a complete turn loose. Has anyone else every recieved a new engine with the head loose? I tightened them up and the leak was gone.
I love super tigre engines, I have 4, but this just seems like something they would check before sending an engine to a customer. I'm glad it didn't ruin it.
