ST2300 Info/ OS160

[Alan Hewson]

Bob
Is the Perry pump your method of choice now for the OS160 ? Did you try the hopper tank method at all?
I had great luck with the Cline regulator on the ST2300 but Karl has told me not to bother on the OS160.
.....your thoughts???

P.S. BTW, I also think the ST2300 is a great CHEAP engine for a pattern plane. It's good to hear they sorted out the carb troubles.

  Perry/Varsane pump.  The ST's benefit from increased fuel pressure, although it makes carb adjustments a little more critical, and you have to turn the pump pressure down.  I have one on my OS 1.60 on my Arresti III page.   Using a pump permits mounting the tank farther aft than the conventional carb could draw reliably.

      Not a plug, or commercial, guys...just info...latest Tower mailer shows ST2300 for $159.99, and it's less if you've got one of their special offers...I've run one of these for a friend, and the carburetor on it was just fine, it ran very well with lots of power and had a good break in period.
          Anyone looking for CHEAP "pattern power" could outfit themselves with one of these and a Perry for less than $200 everything NEW to your door.

      As I said - just info....
