If you get the spigot type (sprinkler) venturi rather than the needle valve that goes thru the venturi it will run the same and as strong as all others although alot will say the T&L has more torque due to Tom heat treating the piston/liner and reducing friction on the bearings and doing some secret internal mods. I would recommend replacing the piston ring getting one from Frank Bowman (who at the present time is not reworking any engines, just selling parts). Get a tube muffler from Randy Smith and you'll be all set. This is the set up I use and am quite happy with it.

This is the engine I am talking about, It is an old ST V60

It has one ringand I dont think is has been run very much. It has real good compression and a baffle piston

Randy,
 what diference beteen a twin ring and a single ring ST I realise the twin ring is older but wonder if one is better that the other

Hi Richard

The twin ring has a  short rod, that, in everyone I have seen is unbushed, the twin ring run OK but does not put out the power of the later ones, If you have  twin ring engine it is better to run a strong 4 cycle as it wears out parts much faster. and  does not 4-2 as fast as the 60 single rings normally do. Many of The single ring version also ran a little smoother with less vibration.

Regards
Randy

Randy,
Do you sell mufflers for these older Supertiger engines? I need one for the older .40 that requires muffler straps, a couple of .46's and a .51 that has the taped hole in a web in the exhaust.
Thanks, Artie

Hi Artie

I do not sell mufflers with the straps, however it is an easy process to take one of my cnc tongue mufflers and  buy a  stainless steel radiator clamp from an auto parts and just bolt it onto the muffler.  So you can put mufflers on the engines you would like to. People do this all the time
