Hello Dino!! Happy Chinese New Year!!! I was about to buy the 28 today but had trouble finding the blackplate (#280106), would you happen to know where I can pick one up in HK? I was even told by one shop that I had to change the crank to make it a non pull start! Hummmmmmmm

I need a non-pull start version of this to mount on my CRT

Thanks~

Hey Dino, thanks for the info. I'll be contacting them today.

The X1-CR is very cool~~~ I can't wait to get my CRT up and running in the CNY holidays (Let's hope they have the backplate).

Red face hello n stuff

Hi all i am new here but i thought i would post as i have viewed this thread many times now.

I have a sts d28m in my thunder tiger eb4 buggy and all i can say is wow !!
for the cash its by far the best value motor ive ever used and the performance is great too

Since i keep reading about people asking for carb settings i thought i would let you guys know my motor runs at 1.5 turns on hsn 4 turns on lsn i think the settings have a lot to do with alltitude , outside temprature and the glow plug used so the settings given on here should be used as a guide as everyones settings will differ slightly.

anyway i though i would thank everyone who has contrubuted to this thread as it made my life a lot easier when i needed info on settings etc

cheers

Hello all!!

Ready to break in this monster soon, so I wanna see what plugs you all are running (pre and post break in). The LHS recommanded the OS 8 plug, a great all around plug they said.

I am in HK and the weather is about +/- 20C (+/- 70F) with 80%-85% humidity (I know....ewwww).

Cheers~

os8 should be ok too though
