<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well she lives!!!!! I ran 2 tanks through
the motor. Still insanely rich on the low end but I am not going to
worry about that right now. I will put a gallon through her and then
start tweaking the needles. Thanks for all the advice. I
leaned the low and high end needles and took the plugs out and spun her
over with the starter to clean it out. I also put a fully charged RS glow
driver on it. One other question. How long should a fully charged
version 1 Radio South glow driver run before the battery dies? Either I
got a false peak or the battery is going south. Once again thanks to
everyone for the input.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=844342105-22022004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>You might not have turned the needle in all of the way, before you
turned it out 1.5 turns. There is a hole in the needle ratchet grooves
for a set screw that is used for needle extensions. The round
indent on the needle ratchet spring-clip fits perfectly into the set screw
hole. It fits so well that you may well believe that you have turned the
needle in all of the way.. Mine went in a couple of turns
after I got it to go past the
restrictions.</FONT></SPAN><SPAN class=844342105-22022004><FONT face=Arial

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I had some time on my hands so I built a engine
test stand and mounted my new Mintor 170 and Mintor carbon pipe on
it. I flipped the prop until the fuel came to the carb. Put the
glow driver on and she tries to start but is spitting fuel out of the carb
and flooding itself out.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The needles are set at what the factory says
for breaking approx 1.5 on the high needle and the low in the
middle.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am running cool power 15%.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>OS F plug in the rear A5 in the
front</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Temp approx 38 degrees F</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am concerned about the engine flooding so
quickly. I even tried starting it with the high speed needle only
turned out one turn. Could some one point me in the right
direction? Give me the steps to setting up and starting? I
flipped that thing for about 2.5 hours today. Arm is getting
tired. I even tried heating up the cylinder with a covering heat
gun. No joy in Mudville.</FONT></DIV>
