Merlin Man Do I understand you to say that you can essentially put gas in the tank for a ST 2300 and go ???? I mean I know you gotta change tubing and stuff but that seems too good to be true, and you know what daddy said about that. No spark plug, no ignition, no worry about timing and such ??? I must have mis-read.
aatorix, If you read the entire thread you will get a better picture of what can be done in a SuperTiger 2300. The rod does not have to be converted to needle bearings as long as you use 20% oil in the gas. More oil gives more power as you have a better piston seal. Now AV8TOR gave a idea that too much carbon would build up using high amounts of oil. As long as you use oils like Kltotz that will not happen. Bottom line is yes you can run the S.T. 2300 by just adding a CD ignition and using 20% oil. Like with any engine avoid lean running, drop your top RPM about 200 RPM with HI-speed needle.
