Default RE: Gilbert .11 Engines

Glad to have found you all takling about Gilbert engines.
My dad sent me some from the UK to use in vintage models for FF. They are all used, and I am having trouble with them.
I can get them to start on 15% Nite fuel better than 25% Nite. My problem is they run backwards more often than forwards.
Can anyone offer suggestions please to resolve this.
Also, I would be interested in contacts for finding a couple of new Gilbert 7 and 11's and parts (glow heads). I would be doing mail order from BC Canada.
Thanks.
