Default RE: .60 sticks?

Hello opjose we did get both engines running today but it was only after I went and bought an electric starter. I don't thinkthis engine is going to lack in the power department. When we did get them started both leaked like crazy between the head and the cylinder. The instructions stated the low speed needle should be set so close to correct that no tuning would be needed. What a joke that was. They were both so rich that I had to turn both of them in one and half to two turns. The low end was so rich the engines would just flood out and would barley transition from idle to full speed.

One thing I did do while at the HS buying the starter is I picked up an O.S. LA 46. Wow what a neat lightweight little motor this is. I am going to leave the super tiger on for now but if it aggravates me any more I will swap out engines. Anyway we never made it to the flying field.

I admit that I really don't like to use an electric starter. All my other engines start withjust a couple of flips.I cringe when I watch a youtube video and some guy jams a starter on his engine and cranks away for 15 to 30 seconds. Thats someone who needs to learn how to adjust an engine so it starts with just a bump of the starter.
