Title: Super Tigre 60 tongue muffler
Post by: Tom Martin on December 29, 2006, 04:14:12 PM
Hello all,
Does someone make a tongue muffler for the ST 60 without muffler lugs?
I think I remember one being available with a single bolt thru the center of the muffler that went into the post in the center of the exhaust stack.
I know that there is an adapter available to mount a muffler that is made for an engine with lugs.
I'm just trying to use one part instead of two.
Anyone have info. about such a thing?  Thank you.

Hello Jim,

Joe Gilbert & I are assembling ARF Stregas for ST 60s.
These kits are really good, & got me to dig out my 60 size side exhaust shakers. I will use a late ST 60 engine with muffler lugs. I may interchange the early Merco 61 light case at some point. May even assemble another one for the Fox Eagle 60.(won't interchange).

While diging out the big boys, I found a couple ST 60s with a single ring but no lugs. I had forgotten that I had them. That was the reason for my post. I realy don't need these engines, but I thought that it would be easier to sell them with mufflers.
I beleive the ARF & ARC Strega kits will renew interest in the older 60 size side exhaust engines. 

The ARF Strega is impressive. My only complaint is my flaps are way too twisty. I will rebuild them.
