It refuses to hold a tune, one second it's lean, the next it's rich, it bogs, it stalls. It's very annoying :-) And now, incredibly thirsty. SignatureDan Not good... I think he has set his mind on the OS .30 anyhoo... =) > > What about, if we are not "Doc" and want to hear?......... > > =) [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > one second it's lean, the next it's rich, it bogs, it stalls.

I read some reviews on the STS .28 on Savage Central and they were very mixed. Some were great, some were just awful, seemed to indicate a lack of quality control on the part of STS. Reminded me of the issues I had with a few SH .16's awhile back and I didn't want to go down the same road as that. The only negative thing I've heard about the O.S. was that it's a lil' lacking on the top end, which I believe is just the user's failure to break in or gear properly. HP and toqrue drop off dramatically at 26K RPM but it still revs out to 35.5K RPM. Soooooo, with the gobs of low-end torque it has, just gear the damn thing really tall and it'll still wheelie into 2nd gear and hit 45 mph on the top end before revving out. Also, break in for the O.S. is 1 gallon d/t the nikasil sleeve, so any reviews done prior to that point are worthless. Dyno results courtesy of XRC O.S. .30 Peak HP - 1.80 @ 26,500rpm peak torque - 74.88 oz-in. @18,750rpm peak rpm 35,550 Doc ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// >> > What about, if we are not "Doc" and want to hear?......... >> > =) [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >> one second it's lean, the next it's rich, it bogs, it stalls.
