RE: I found a new beast
Thanks guys.
Speed boy, I'd hold off getting one of these just yet. Keep in mind I went with it to squeak into a race class. It has a heli carb and it may have issues when turning a prop. When I went to count the turns out on the screws for reference and found the low speed screw is turned full lean (180*) and the mid range screw is completely closed and it's still a tad rich at idle through mid range. It will idle fine for at least 30 seconds and if you don't let it load up too long, it revs up like there's no prop on it.
I'm going to have a look at the carb after next weekend to see if that’s the way it is or if something’s wrong or missing. It seemed better on the test stand but I did have the carb apart to shorten it's throttle shaft. The carb has very powerful fuel draw or the pipe develops a lot of tank pressure and thats with carb location near the top of the tank. The fuel is 30* Wildcat "Youngblood", heli air temp 103*. I have tried OS # 8 , K&B hp and now the K&B 1-L, all run the same.
