K&b.45

[BillH]

I have a Aeromarine Laminates catamaran. It has a K&B .45 on it.

I thought it would run like one of my glow airplane enginers, but its a royal pain in the neck. What is the trick to these things? IT idles too fast, it seizes up before I can get it into the water, It quits when I give it throttle, it must hate me.

It has a regular carb on it, and a tuned pipe. Surface drive system.

It sounds too lean to me. Richen the mixture, try a full turn on the needle
valve. JOE
