Status: offline 		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.

Status: offline 		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!!

Status: offline 		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.
