Default RE: OS 91 FS Surpass problems

Hi back at you SJN!

Before I reset the low speed needle, I did get it to where it would transition pretty well. It just wouldn't run right at the top end if I had the idle adjusted. If I adjusted the top end, now the bottom wasn't right. I chased that around for a couple of tanks before I finally got a clue to what was happening.

BTW, most of the time I was doing this I did not have the glow starter attached. It would run, but not all that great, really rich w/ excessive smoke.

Puzzling part is the engine was previously mounted sideways and ran fine in a profile 3d type plane. Problems arose when I mounted it inverted in a new warbird I built. In between I never touched the idle screw... Not sure what happened there or why it ran so good before.
