Default looking for a reasonable priced reliable engine for hyper 7

I currently have a wasp .28 and it sucks. After about 1 tank of running (if I can even get it started) it will stall all over the place. I just want a reliable engine. I would prefer decent performance but I dont race so I dont care if it is wonderful. Mainly I am just looking for a pull start engine that is easy to tune and will run with out stalling.

Default RE: looking for a reasonable priced reliable engine for hyper 7

The only BB Bengines I have experience with are the Force .28 that came in my CRT RTR and an O.S. VG .21 that I put in a buggy. I have been very happy with the Force engine. It isn't a racer but it starts right up every time, holds a tune, and runs strong. I rarely have to adjust the tune.

My O.S. engine is just broken in but it also seems like a decent engine. It takes a little longer to warm up and runs a little hotter than the Force but that could just be because it is newer.

Both engines idle well and the only times I have had them stall are when i run them out of fuel.

Oh, I have shaft starts on both of these engines but both of them start very easily once primed.

I have two STS engines and they both will run with a $300+ engine. www.projectzen.net www.stsmicroengines.com

If you've only got one tank through it, then it's still brand new, and probably really rich...and that's more than likely why it quits on ya.

Give it some time to break-in...

Try leaning the needles a little bit and it should be easier to start.

its had a couple of gallons through it. During an independent run, it will run for maybe one tank then, will not run for a while. mabey I will just get a new piston/sleve, but I am really sick of this engine. the Picco sounds interesting
