Status: offline 		I have a new 58 that will not start I have fuel coming out the carb where the choke plate is I checked for spark and it's fine. The line from the tank is connected to the black inlet tube at the side of the carb is that correct? Thanks for the help.

Status: offline 		Are you following the starting instructions in the manual? Choke closed, throttle open, ignition off, flip the prop 4 times to prime. Throttle to idle, choke still closed, ignition on, flip it again, it should pop and die on the 2nd or 3rd flip, open the choke, flip again and off it should go!

Yes fuel goes into the black, 90 degree fitting that is close to the throttle arm. Don't forget that the ignition will turn itself off automatically after 90 seconds if it does not see the prop moving. If you turn the ignition on an then for some reason spend 90 seconds fiddling with your TX or something you have to turn the ignition off and back on again.

Status: offline 		I did not know that after 90 seconds it shuts down that could be half the problem. I will try it again Thanks

Status: offline 		I tried it again and after 10-15 tries I got it to start. On every try I had to remove the spark plug and found it soaked of fuel.When it started,I had to keep the throttle on the upper range. If I tried even close to idle, it would flood and die. My low speed screw is one turn out from full clockwise. The high speed is one and three quarter out from full clockwise. Does clockwise lean it and counter clockwise richen it. Is the screw closer to the piston the low speed. Where does the tube from the crankcase go? Is it the fitting on the plate with the four screws or the one with the larger screw in the middle of the plate. Thanks again.

Status: offline 		Could be that you are flooding the engine while priming it to start. Generally the Low speed needle (the one closest to the engine itself) should be 1 2/3 to 2 1/4 out from fully closed. Set BOTH needles at 2 turns out and see how that works. The clear tube connected to the nipple on the crank-case gets connected to the fitting on the carb closest to it - this is the fitting on the BOTTOM of the carb if the engine is held with the spark plug pointing up.

Status: offline 		I have the clear tube connected to the plate with four screws on each corner. The other nipple is on the plate with the largerscrew in the center. I can not remember if I turned the carb around.

Status: offline 		The clear tube to the crankcase was pluged in the wrong fitting. I will try again.

Status: offline 		Yup, that will mess you up! The other fitting is a vent for the pump diaphram, it can be connected to a line running into the fuse of the airplane.
