The 2300 (1.4 Tigre) is awfully good
power to weight beats any of the "gassers"
The good part is that for whatever reason- the Tiger bearings don't crap out as do many others
The present Chinese built 2300 is -tahnk goodness the same as the first version of 2300 from Italy
someone (I suspect Hobico) screwed up subsequent carburator beyond belief
use either the stock carb and exhaust pressure or a header and pipe (again use exhaust pressure) - for a really smooth powerful arrangement
The gas conversions of the Tigres cn't touch this arrangement for smooth power.
We went thru the gas to glow CRAP stuf back when the tOC needed bigger engines to be competitive

These things sucked
The one we used was a Tarta twin with pipes and glo. a reed bank conversion by Bob Ausley and Vtech.
good runner - hard starter .
many of the conversions I have seen, really sucked.
The Tigre on alky n spark is excellent -
