Not sure of the interchanging. My Como .51 has the round head and loop scavenging, my other Supertiger .51s are packed away for a while so I can't check really easily, but I think they might be...

The heads on the Supertigers are bad for warping, although it ran fine before. Maybe lower the compression ratio with a shim too?

I am pretty sure they are close though. Same s--- different pile. I heard the machines were sent to China, so it is just different operators. We had people from every country you could think of at...

I don't see why not. IMHO higher nitro just needs another head shim to lower the compression a bit so it does not preignite, or burn plugs. I think the Chinese ones are quite similar to the Italian...

If it hesitates, and it wants to die, it is too lean, and the low speed needle needs to be richened. If it hesitates and burbles, and spits out fuel from the carb, it needs the low end needle leaned...

Ringed motors never seem to have compression. I have a .51 on my Seamaster. Pretty happy with it. A flying buddy has an old Webra Silverline .40 with, I am guessing, easily 100's of hours. No way...

When starting, I usually put my finger over the muffler while cranking it with the starter for about two seconds. This forces fuel through the carb if it is dirty, and ensures that there is fuel in...
