Hey Mate,
I do not like castor. It gums things up. I had a Rossi 61 in a Bell and flew it a lot.
If its had castor and set more than a few moths, its probably gummed up at the Carb.
You have to confirm that the engine is getting fuel. Back you needle out about 6 or 8 turns and
blow thru a clean tubing at the carb/needle point. You should be able to know that its the air is
flowing. If not, the line is clogged up. Remove needle and put a fine wire or such thru and see if
you can get past the clog. Most likely you can. If you have a bulb type filler, use it to pressure some fuel thru.
If I remember right, my Rossi had a pretty wide band for needle setting. Start at 3.5 turns out.
If the engine has fuel and glow she will run fine, no matter what fuel. I always used 15% sythetic.
Have fun, hope that helped

i will give it a try today
i fly twice a week so no chance of gumming up.
