Check the LSN. How many turns out from the end?

All the way in, then back out 4 turns.

Hi Dino!

What a bummer, he only ships within the UK :(

I figured it out. O-ring for the HSN is not sealing. Where do I get replacements for my engine? Someone help, it's no fun to be down.

I took out the o-ring and streched it a little. Fits just right. Seals now.
I have this engine in my monster, and it flies. Crazy power.
Thank you STS!

hello dino

could i have the stock needle setting for the sts. 28
i can't get it to run properly so i think i am going to start fresh here and hope that that will help me out

thanks in advance

I am trying to find a dealer in the U.S. that carries the sts line of motors and engine parts is there one or not? I emailed zen but there is no reponse from them. why is it so hard to find these motors? all you can do is buy new ones off ebay. :mad: :mad:

8man 07-22-2005 08:22 AM

I am in the same boat. I emailed zen, but no response. Do they carry parts?
I don't see anything on their site that says they do.

dino.tw 07-22-2005 08:49 AM

The bad situation will be better later in U.S.
