robinhood and i have multipul versions of this motor. we have had real good luck. what we have found is that the stock settings are real close. its hard when all of us are giving you ideas but were all trying. i would start now by setting both needles at 1 1/4 out. turn them both in until they stop then back them out. buy a new gallon of fuel and mix it at 50:1 run it with the cowl off. try running it with a fully charged 4.8 volt battery. if it still runs this way switch to a 6 volt for testing reasons. do not run it for more than 10 min or so on 6 volt do this as a test. report back. |

Looks like I'm learning the hard way, but I really appreciate your ideas. Remember, this is unknown territory to me, after being flying only glow for more than 20 years. My radio glitch issue has been solved. I found the spark plug cap was not all the way in. I didn't know I had to push really hard to make it snap in place and since the engine had been running rather well, I thought it was OK. I am almost done with my first gallon of gas (25:1), my next gallon will definitely be a lot less "oily". I managed to bring the idle down a little this morning, about 2600 rpm. What kind of numbers are you guys getting on the low end?
