Running in a new engine and getting it to idle
Hi,
this is my first post so, a big HELLO to all of you.
I have recently purchased a .61 size glow engine. I started her up yesterday to run it in. I put three tanks of fuel through with the main needle set to very rich (killed half the grass in my garden with the oil!!)
After that I decided to lean the top end out and try to get it set up for normal running. I got the main needle set so that the engine sounded about right, tried to reduce the throttle and it died. The engine would only start with the throttle open about 3/4. Any ideas why????? Is the idle needle set too lean?? Could there be a problem with the engine itself??
I don't have a great deal of experience so any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
