Ok, thanks. It was frozen up when I got it. Soaked it in alky overnight and got it to free up. Ring is dark gray, compression seems a little soft but I'm not sure how good a pop these had when...

Hi Guys,

Been a while since I've visited this thread; however, I just came by a Saturno G90, with muffler, that looks lightly used and is very clean. I have no use for it. If anyone is interested...

What Quickee rules were you running under? AMA Quickee didn't allow pipes. Later, tuned mufflers were allowed if they came with the engine. I ran a Fox Quickee .40 for a while. Couldn't get a...

Why not? I ran 15% nitro in several Italian STs in the 1980's when I lived in El Paso, TX, @4500' MSL. I took two of them to Houston for an AMA fly-in. Guys there told me 15% would overheat my...

I guess that's the Jett JS-90, for .60 to .90 engines, tuned muffler, not a pipe so you can't retune the pipe. Further guessing that you have a cage around the prop on the air boat (I would) so...

Well, the reason I asked is that you have to subtract the thickness of the pin from the measured end gap. So, the end gap of the old ring may not be the issue. Could be the old ring is just shot. ...

Pinned Ring?

I haven't torn a ST down in many years. I seem to remember that some of them had pinned rings. What about the S 90?
