Gray Beard, opjose

Guys thanks a lot for your great inputs,

I'm sorry, the carb O ring is there, I thought it was not there, yes, I bought this engine used, but as it was only bench tested. First the back plate screws came off loose, then I had a nose over which caused the prop chipped out on the edge, I changed the prop from 11x5 to 11X4, did tweak but still did not get the right rpm, that I wanted. Had a dead stick on half throttle, low air speed caused plane to take a nose dive, Thank GOD the tall grass and muddy surf did not let my plane harm in anyway. Yesterday I pulled out the carb, so now I see the stopper screw at the carb that holds the throttle arm is missing, my LHS did not have it[:@] so they had to order one which would be there on Friday. I've been advised to use green locktight in order to keep it intact, otherwise, it would be lost again. This engine ain't a good luck for me, I'm unable to recall that I'd have so many problems with this engine, except for HB or HG german engine with perry carb, that .61 size motor got me on my knees.

Anyway, I'm gonna update y'all after this Friday, if I may be able to get it running, and nipples are all clear, and clunk is free not stuck, and fuel lines seem to be intact. If the stopper screw won't fix the issue, then I gotta think something else about it.

I'll keep y'all posted.

Thanks


Mody
