Sean has a point, and let's not get into a situation where the thread is hijacked to another brand. I know the XYZ talk is important too, but....well, you know.

They are little valves (flaps) between the carb and the crankcase. They allow fuel in, but don't allow crankcase pressure to enter the carb as the piston is going down.

Remove the carb, then the reed assembly (noting it's position), and flip it over and look at the reeds. My engine was hard to start and would only idle. It would die if I gave it any throttle. Then we found the broken reed. Note which gasket goes where.

freeonthree, i just test flighted a ultimate bip. i have to say i'm hooked. i've tested everything else. turbines, electrics, 540-trainers. that was the most fun i've had yet. right before i told you this i ordered a 120 ultimate for myself. i'll put the infamouse 26cc motor on it. the one i test flew had the same motor on it. it wasn't running good. i mentioned some of the pointers i got from this thread and the sob ran great. thanks all!!

These little 26's are the ultimate little engine's in my opinion. I don't think I even need more than my one gasser now. I never get tired of flyin my Stearman with the SV26.

I use a APC 17x8 and it will take e little larger prop so a 18x6 should work fine.
