CRRC 40cc kit
Warbird, the Thor and the CRRC 40 are two very different engines, you must be thinking of the CRRC 45 which is no longer in production, it is very similar to the Thor. There are pictures in this thread for your reference.
This 40cc is destined for a GP Giant Big Stik that I plan to order soon.
After a bit of hassle I am pleased with my pre-built CRRC-Pro 40cc kit.
Sure glad I decided to read completely through this thread. I recently purchased Valley View’s Giant Super Chipmunk and the CRRC 40cc (pre-assembled) engine. The engine runs great on the bench with no problems – other than the occasional backwards start. My problem was mounting the cowl without having to modify it too heavily due to the dimensions of the stock muffler. Saw Jody’s remarks on the Pitts style muffler for this engine. Jetted right over to Valley View’s website and nailed one. Problem solved!
Thanks Jody! (Say hello to Tom for me.)
I have a CRRC 40 cc pro engine installed on my Katana V2 using a Xoar 18x10 prop. The velocity stack sticks out of the cowl. I also have the same issue during flight. My engine oftens times sputters, richens and leans out during flight despite adjusting the low and high end needles to optimal performance. On the ground, the engines runs flawlessly. I tried changing the stock velocity stack to a GP velocity stack which is angled. The fix only offered modest improvement on my engine's performance in the air. I soldered a brass tubing on the vent of the diaphragm cover and connected silicone tubing on the brass tubing directing the tubing into the fuselage. I hope this will solve this issue. I will be flying this weekend to see if this modification corrects my problem. Some say that you might have to install a plate in front of the carb. to avoid direct prop. blast from the propeller. I might consider this my next step if the problem persists.

Sorry I am a so impressed with good people to be a little biased.

Next the Walbro service manual has the high level, harder to understand technical details that are more applicable to a carburetor like yours. It includes tips and tools for troubleshooting your engine.
http://www.wind-drifter.com/technica...viceManual.pdf
My advice, to you based on a statistical analysis is to consider that crankcase chamber leaks are the leading cause of real troubles brought to this forum. Some leaks are from the crank sensor mounting holes, and some are from gaps in a poorly machined crankcase.
It sounds as if you have not adjusted your needle valves. What is stopping you from thoroughly testing many settings. Select a range of 0.75 to 2 turns with 0.25 turn increments. If you have a pressure gauge or vacuum gauge you can check the crankcase for leaks. You have a lot to read here. Let us know if it was valuable to you. What happened next/
Happy flipping (but not too much flipping),
