OS 140 RX/FI starting problem
Hello all,
I'm having trouble starting my OS 1.40 FI engine. I've used the engine successfully in the past but now I am experiencing starting issues.
When I start the engine, it runs a little and dies. After that, I can not start it anymore. The fuel pressure is OK, I checked the troubleshooting page at the OS manual but it didn't work either. I played with the pipe a little and the performance improved but it's still not ok. If I want to start the engine again, I have to manually drop a little fuel in the carb opening. It's really strange because when I prime the engine with a starter the carb has plenty of fuel, but the engine does not start.
I'm using Wildcat Premium Extra fuel, 10% nitro and 18% oil. I always used this fuel with this engine.
Do you have any clues about this?
Thank you,
Luciano Kahn
