Default RE: New Gasoline Engine from Norvel (NV Engines)

I have only run one 6 oz tank through mine. One thing I found that I did not see in the instructions is the fact that the cylinder, or at least it's coating, does not conduct electricity. I used aligator clips, one on the tip of the plug and one grounded to the muffler. After several failed attempts without so much as a pop, I connected the other clip to the base of the plug and the motor, despite being flooded, started instantly. I ran mine between 5k and 9k to break it in and I was SHOCKED at how well the motor ran...I idled it down once for a minute and despite being set way too rich the motor didn't even hint at dying. Obviously, final verdict will have to wait until next week when I have a chance to fly, but so far I'm impressed.
