since no one could help me with a review when i was shopping for a engine i took a chance with the STS.28. Unboxing the engine i was very impressed. nothing fancy on the out side but the insides look top notch. As i do with all engines i ever run i took it apart for a inspection . nothing was flawed and it sealed up with no issues. once installed in my savage the carb was not returning to closed even with a return spring. I took off the carb and found it was binding a little. The bind was coming from a bur in the idle screw. I removed the bur and all was good.
Break-in went flawless. i used some 1 year old fuel i had laying around to get rid of and it fired up on the first push of the roto button. i heat cycled for 2 mins 3x. after that it was all down hill. after about 4 tanks and a glow plug later i leaned out little bye little till it was good to go.
I only have about 1/2 gallon on it but so far i rate this a 3 out of 5 only because of the sticky carb.
