Default RE: OS Max 60 FP Not Running

Thanks Jolly,
I'm pretty certain this engine has never been apart. The sleeve looks correctly aligned. The exhaust port is in the correct place. Compression on it is pretty good. It's not as snappy as my old Supre Tigre but it's pretty good. I dont' think there is any problem there. Mine does have a bit of play around the prop shaft. It seems like a lot but I'm not used to these engines without bearings. I guess it's normal. I'm feeling pretty sure my issues are carb related. The engine was probably pretty good when the guy shipped it to me. When I received it the box it was in was way too big and he had one layer of bubble wrap around it. That was it. When it showed up at my door step what was left of the needle was sticking out the side of the box!

I am dealing with the needle valve. Not a remote assembly.

I'll let you know how it turns out tonite. What size prop are you running on yours? I started with an 11x7 but moved it up to a 12x6. I actually got a 1/2 flight out of it with the 12x6!
