Well guys, I don't mean to beat a dead horse, but here I go anyway! Saturday afternoon I reinstalled the engine back into the plane. I tried to eliminate the air leak in the tank, if that was indeed where it was (I'm pretty sure it was). I made sure also that the pick up line connection on the cap was at the bottom to minimize the chances of an air leak inside the tank. After doing all that, then fueling in preparation to start it up, guess what! It was being a real bear to get started again!! What gives? Is it just the needle settings that need to be tweaked in order to get it to start easily? There was at least a lot of "trying to run" going on.
Along with that, let me make certain I've got the needle setting correct. This is a Walbro carb. I purchased from Tower. Would the initial needle settings be the same as the DLE carb.?
