Default Engine Quest ????

Hi,

Just a quick question, ive brought an old plane off ebay ;-0, with an engine for 30 dollars, the plane needs alot of tlc, the engine seems a bit gummy i started it today it ran for a few secs then cut out.

The question is the way hes built the plane the fuel lines from the tank come out of the fuse side throu 3 small holes and up and over into the engine !!!!!!!!! ?

Does it matter how long the fuel line is to the carb etc, i thought it should be as little as possible ? as ive got this plane as a winter rebuild Its a Cambrian Mustang Fun Fighter with a Thunder Tiger 25GP engine installed.

Also the cockpit has had it, does it make a diff to have a open cockpit, or is it fairly easy to make a new one ?

Thx in advance
