Default RE: Jett bubbleless tank

Hi summerwind:

I have had a jett 35 for many years, maby 10 and still my favorite engine of all time. I use the 6 oz tank whereever it can be stuffed in. To work with these tanks, invest with the J ett "tanker", will save you all sorts of grief. Firstd suck all the air out of the tank from the side vent and then fill with fuel from the center. Put a clamp on the center line so it does not flood the crank. Open up the carb wfo per dub jett and have someone pull the clamp just as you are turning over. She should catch right off. Any time that engine does not transition snappy or idle way down there, something in your tank or adjustment is off. With a 40" cut down quickee wing and streemlinned cowel, this little guy dominated our club open class for years. Recently went electric as am getting old and slower. I kept the Jett 35 as just could not get rid of her. Enjoy the engine, with care will last you a lifetime.
