Default RE: Building a Dynaflite Super Decathlon

Well Guys

I tried to maiden today. I worked my butt off but cannot get the engine to run more than 20 seconds and it only did this intermittently. Most of the time it wouldnt even fire. I'm going to check the fuel system starting at the clunk up to and including the carb. Had issues at first fire back in the winter however, I thought I had it worked out. Apparently I was mistaken. Brand new engine very frustrating. I'll also check the ignition but I think it may be okay since it'll fire off. Acting very strange. When it does start it takes a lot of flipping. ZDZ 40. I have other ZDZs and they can be temperamental but this one is terrible. I'll focus on it tomorrow. Maybe I can get it worked and try again Friday.
