Question
Nitro Pick up
I'm almost done with my SPAD. Well, really I am done, but I can't get the fuel to the carb on this 51magnum motor. I can prime the carb with fuel and the motor runs, till it runs out of fuel. When I take the carb line off the motor and try to start it, no fuel comes out.
I have a 3 line fuel system. Filler, Pressure, and Carb. I can blow through the pressure line, and blow fuel out the carb line with no problem. I can plug 2 of the 3 lines and blow till I turn purple which I've done like 6 times, and I can't get air in, so I'm thinking, OK, no leaks. Any ideas? What else should I look for? Edit: Well I put in a new stopper with a 2 line system. Still the motor will not pull up fuel to the carb, but I can remove the pressure line from the muffler, and blow fuel through the carb line.. I'm going to remove the head and make sure it's seated well. Sheeeeeesh |

Hi Red... Just checked the needle valve. It was shut completely. I must have shut it when I pulled the motor apart to clean it, from when it nosed into a bean field last year. The motor had all kind of dirt in it.
The HSN was completely closed. I've opened her up 3.5 turns. Maybe that will work. Stay tuned |

Well, it flys...
![]() For what ever reason though, I cannot for the life of me run the motor at factory settings with regard to needle valve settings. I actually had to turn the motor upside down, because the fuel tank was a bit lower than the carb intake opening. I haven't had a chance yet to fly it much and tune the motor, but it flys... ![]() It's Alive ! It's Alive ! |
