Help with Fox engine.
I am still messing around with a brand new Fox Eagle 60. Forget the last seven months let's start with last weekend.
I took it to the local model plane park and some guy got it to run perfectly in about 45 seconds. I brought it home and ran it twice in the garage and it ran great. Since Monday it is the same old story. Hard to start, runs backwards, forwards, runs rough, won't run up to full or even quarter throttle, spits fuel, dies, laughs at me!
It is still set at the same settings the genius guy at the park dialed in so why will it not run? I have tried to adjust it per his instructions but nothing works.
Any suggestions are welcome.

RE: Help with Fox engine.
with nitro engines, the needle needs to be reset, a lot. The temp, is the air dry or wet, different loads on the engine. You can set your needle in the morning and by mid day you will need to reset it.
Sounds like your running too rich. For good information on setting the needle go to www.cajungatorairboats.com in the forum under tips, there is a post carb 101. This post should help you to get your engine set right and help you to know when to reset it.
