Absolutely, until we get these engines running correctly, we are in this together or until I make mine an endpiece on bookshelf.

Other then checking that pulse lines are matching up which I did yesterday and you probably have done:

Set both needles to 1.5 turns out
GO ahead and put 6 volts to ignition but not more then 6.3. I think I have a 6v regulator laying around.
Double check the conections on sensor and battery wires.
Although I use a T to fill with on all my gas engines with no problems, I am going to go ahead and take the T out of loop and have the feed line go straight to nipple.

(This part isnt from ray but me) - if none of above prove to help, ask for new carb, that is not a 745, which I probably won't get from dealer I bought it from since I am problem and not engine. So at this point it will be either purchase a new carb or chunk the engine, havent decided.

If ray relays any more ideas, I will pass them along.

Thanks Ken, really appreciate it. I am not one to easily give up but this has been going on for 3 flying weekends so I am starting to get a little discouraged. But I am here and my ears are open .

Talk to Ray @ Paragon. He has parts for them and on his website he list the carb for $48.00.
Ask him if it is a WT-793

Well, I tried a few more things and still no go. Ray has been nice enough to offer to work on motor until it runs right. Super guy seeing I didnt even buy it from him but he is truly interested in helping me out. He will get all my business for now on . So off to Canada it goes tomorrow. I think this is the best solution at this time.

unless ray transforms into a boob you will rock when it comes back !

OK, not trying to bust ball$ here...... BUT
Please correct me if I am wrong.
I believe dealinrc is rconlysite.
If you all remember in between post number 285, 286, and 287 the mediator canceled these post.
dealinrc posted:
Why ever would you buy this engine from a seller in Canada, when you can buy it from a dealer here in the U.S.

Even in the thread here on Giants ( comparable motor to crrrc 26cc? ) dealinrc says:
CRRC changed carbs 2 months ago. The difference is the way the choke is hooked up to work with the throttle. In the last month I have sold over 60 of these engines with no problems.

Well, there are two engines bought from rconlysite that are having problems and it seems that rconlysite is not helping them.

Now Ray from paragon RC is going to work on FLZman engine for him.
He is not the one that sold the engine, but is willing to make it work.
Hey, he is a dealer in Canada..................How about that................
Ray is a CRRC dealer and he will do what it take since he flys the CRRC banner.
The better these engine run, the better he and every CRRC dealer will do in sales.
Now to me, ( this may not be the case ) rconlysite took the money and has dropped the ball on everything else.

If you find a dealer like Ray at Paragon, buy from him.
This is a prime example of why Ray gets all my CRRC buisness and will continue to.
With his service, I don't care where he is from. ( except Iraq ).

FLZman, I am sure Ray will hook you up with your engine.

As far as the question ( why would you ever buy from a dealer in Canada, when there is a dealer right here in the U.S. )
Buy from where you get the service, USA, Canada, Mexico, China, etc.
Service is 95% of the bottom line.

This is only my opinion and no dig against rconlysite, since I have never done buisness with them.

But hey, dealinrc / rconlysite....... chime in, stand up to the plate for these guys.

I think Ray will find the same thing we did. There is nothing wrong with the motor, just the way you set it up. If you read the instructions and released the spring on the carb it would work perfect. How do you expect instant throttle control when you are fighting the spring. All you will do is burn out servos. Your first engine that you sent back is flying a 3d cmp katana. You did the same thing on that engine as well as busting the carb block and also putting the intake gasket in backwards so it covered up the purge hole. That is why your high speed needles did not work. I did not want to embarase you here but how you can praise the Canadian Dealer when I did so much to make you happy. I made your engine run right, you messed it up, and I can prove it.

Clearly on the big lime yellow label on my CRRC bos it say:
Never remove the idle speed holding spring.
On page 4 of my manual is says:
Important: Do not remove the carburetor spring as the spring helps keep the carburetor butterfly alighned properly.

Doesn't that DO NOT mean something?

But you are saying to release the spring and it will work perfectly?
Mine is still on and mine is working perfectly.
How about yours Ken?

Also how can you prove it?
