RE: My COX is STUCK
GOODNEWS(sort of)
After waiting for and installing a rebuild kit from eBay , the motor fired upon the third flip , after priming , and when I went to remove the starter clip I got this (nasty prop bite). It didn't phase me . I got cleaned up and got it started againandran a full tank to the end through it with only two small blip blips . It will hopefully go in to a Beachey monoplane . I am pleased and scared . I alsogot a blood blister while clamping the mount in the vice . The handle caught me . .... D.J.

hmm, I've had my own mishaps in the past. Try not to do that again. Think through your procedure before even starting. I saw a guy lose part of a finger, not a pretty sight. Never be in a rush and always stay away from a spinning prop, whatever size.

If you still have not found a wrench, take a photo of the .049 sized one and the engine to a local water-jet machine shop and tell them what you want. They can blast one out for you in short order if you find a good shop. I've had several items made just by taking in crude drawings. I don't know what their SWARF looks like but I bet it must be like silt! So... You can get your Cox unstuck and not be in deep silt.
