ORIGINAL: rcmaster12

I was doing a little research, and I found the super tiger G2300. Using a Bisson pitts muffler, It would cost about $70 dollars less than the O.S. I did notice that it was a bit heavier, but it has an extra .6 HP. Has anybody had any experience with this engine or any other suggestions?
Yes, Yes, Yes, I had one. I don't know if others have had better experiences with this engine but the one that I had gave me nothing but grief from the moment I set eyes on it. Took me five hours just to get it running, and then another three to keep it running. If you don't mind spending more time with your plane on the ground instead of in the air get a G-2300. Traumatized me so bad that O.S. is all that I will ever use when it comes to glow fuel. O.S.'s reliability and customer service really make it worth the extra money.

To be fair though, I may have just ended up with a lemon.
