I have found an old como 51 engine (Super Tigre) that is probably 20+ years old. Are there any online engine manuals for this engine? I remember running it with a pipe back in high school (1985-1987) and remember it running great. Its locked up now and I need to take it apart and clean it up.

Any help/tech manuals would be appreciated. (suggested prop size, fuel, rebuild info) Is this engine still made?

Thanks

There are no manuals available for the Como engines. It would disassemble in the same manner as any similar engine. Almost all glow engines are similar-enough that a diagram for one will usually work OK for another to show the relationship between the parts.

Those may be a bit big for the engine. You want the engine to turn about 12,500+ on the ground when leaned to just rich of peak RPM. Those large 11-inch props won't let it happen. Try a 10 x 7 or 10 x 8, maybe an 11 x 6.
