OH it is only has had maybe 1.5 galloms through it. I bought a Collari .32 . WOW what a engine. it makes thet sts . 28 seem like a .12 compaired to it... plus rinning with 19/47 gearing. it only runs at 22o degrees all day long, so I took my sts . 28 out in my boat with me on the Hudson River here in NY. and used it as a fishing wight!! it is only what it was good for... and then it snagged on something under water.. OH well good place for it!
It is too bad you have had such a bad experience with the .28 motor. But i am glad you are happy with the collari motor, it would suck to get another motor that didnt work out. It seems that no matter what brand you decide to go with there is always the chance of not being happy with it. I work at a chevy dealership and we get customers that love thier vehicles and others that absolutly hate them, To those we suggest maybe you ought to try a ford because it seems that no matter what you do to remedy thier problem they are unhappy.
Again glad you found a motor that works for you. This stuff is supposed to be fun afterall
