Default What kind of engine is this

My Grandson was given a 2 stroke engine that needs some parts but we cannot find a source for them. On one side of the engine body are the initials TS and on the other it shows it to be a 75. It appears to be ringed. The cylinder head is a pale red or pink.
The carb. has the initials TSI.
Any ideas on what this is?

Are you sure the initials aren't 'ST'? If so, then you probably have a Super Tigre .75 two stroke.

Been a few years but didn't Kange or Richmond rc sell them for a while? If it is a TSI IMHO it is not an engine that I would invest any money in. Just found a Kange add featuring Tiger Shark engines with a reddish head. the 75A/AR sold for $107.77.

Tiger shark International, my friend has one in his trainer and it's not worth trying to make it run right. I spent hours reworking the carb and compression seal to make it work somewhat decent, still has idle problems but performance is marginal.
