Status: offline 		I cant figure out what i'm doing wrong here.......I had this enging running twice for about 30 seconds each. Ever since that point I cant get it started. I've changed the glow plug, made sure none of my fuel lines were clogged, and the carb line was also connected to the clunker line in the tank, I thought maybe the rubber plug at the end of the tank where the fuel lines go in was loose, but I took it apart and tightened it up and the suction/pressure is good.......I guess i'm looking for ideas or suggestions, When I turn the prop I cant even see any fuel being sucked into the line to the carb. Thanks for the help in advance!

Status: offline 		I have this same engine in my WM AT6. It is a fine choice. The plane flys exceptionally well with it. I have had no issues with mine. I did mount it sideways instead of inverted. If yours is inverted, you may try turning it upside down to start it. Get it all adjusted and running smoothly so minimal cranking is needed. They will flood out inverted. You need to max out the glow starter volts if inverted.

Status: offline 		Here's another tip for starting inverted engines. When fueling close the needle valve if you dont have an "easy filler valve" (one that shuts off fuel flow to the carb when you insert the fuel probe). Then open the needle valve to the previous setting just before starting. It may take a few cranks to draw the fuel in but at least you wont flood the carb right off.

With the "Easy filler valve I use a small clamb (Hemostatic Forceps) to keep the fill line closed with the fill value inserted until I'm ready to start. When I take out the fill valve then fuel stsrts to flow and the engine starts without flooding.

Hope this helps.
