1670.0. "Another OOPS-SuperTiger 3000" by POLAR::WHITTALL () Mon Jun 05 1995 08:51

    Another airplane has been suddenly retired, there were no survivors.
    As a result, a friend of mine has a broken caseing on a SuperTiger
    3000. Honest, it wasn't me . 
    
    Does anybody have a caseing they would care to part with or sell ?
    
    Cheap ?

    I have a brand new Super Tigre 3000 that has only been run a few times.
    Basically the engine runs, starts, and idles fine but has not proven
    reliable enough for glider towing.
    
    It quits, often at full throttle.  I am no engine wizard and can't seem
    to solve the problem.
    
    I would sell the whole thing with J-Tec Snuffler muffler for $135.
    
    
    Regards,

    Thanks for the reply,I told my friend about it and he wants to think
    about it.It sounds like it has some problems. 
    Would you settle for $75 ? I may take interest in it myself.

    I think I will be able to sell the engine locally(ie to a club member)
    for $130, so I am remaining firm on the price.
    
    A club member is going to lend me an O.S. 7D carb which will should
    help to further troubleshoot the problem.
    
1670.4Special ST fuelRHETT::FRANCO_RMon Jun 12 1995 18:237
    
    Have you tried the 'special' fuel made for ST engines?  I have a ST2500
    on a SIG 4Star120 and it runs great on the fuel.
    
    Just a suggestion.

    I came across a fellow with the same problem, he removed his muffler,
    magically in flight and has never had the problem since.Try reducing
    your back pressure.
