All I run is NGK plugs. I through away the DLE upon receipt of them. I will pull the tank out again and check. I am using a three line system but the one line is just for filling. Everything was assembled new but I am guessing it is possible that the pickup line came off again within the tank.; I have never had these problems before with the nitro lines ever. I guess if it is off this time I need to wire it on. This sucks because just as I am putting this plane through my paces it starts. Hope that this is all that it is. I may check the needle setting too against what they should be from the factory but it does run good for the first 5-7 minutes.

Joe,
Before you attach the fuel pickup line in the tank, slightly flare the end of the brass tubing. You can smoothen any sharp edges with a fine file or sandpaper.
Then push the line over the flared end and tie it off with a tiewrap.
Another method is to wrap a couple of turns of thin wire around the end of the tube and solder it on.
Also tie the clunk with a tiewrap.
Tygon lines have a habit of softening when submerged in the gas and can slip off unless some measures are taken
