hello all
I am new to the forum. Just getting back to flying after twenty years of not flying anything but electric helicopters.
I have about ten or twelve leftover engines I am thinking of using. All nitro glow. I have a Saito FS 80 that I went through and got new gaskets and carb kit ,new bearings for the crank. It fired up on the first crank and with a couple twists of the needle idles very nice. I love the fourstroke.
Now I have a pile of O.S. ,Rossi ,Webra, ASP two strokes from .32 to .91. They are all having trouble. If I spray fuel in the carb they fire up and run. But won’t idle . It seems the fuel line won’t keep pulling fuel when I start to close the throttle. I can keep them running with my thumb over the carb. And playing with the air opening.
Should I try new glow plugs? Are the carbs worn out leaking air? Or should I just give up on them?
Fuel is new omega 20%. Thinking of going electric. Or Gasoline at this point. If I have to buy new engines
