NEED HELP WITH DIESELS Report This Post | | Revisions: 1 (Post No. 1)


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I converted a Cox .049 to a diesel head I am using the David diesel fuel for 1/2A. I put a small prime in the exhaust port it will fire on the second time I wind it up (it has a spring start) but it runs for about 1 half second until the prime is gone and then dies. I have tried dozens of times but I have never got it to run. I sure wish I could figure out how to keep it running. I have tried turning the needle valve in and out. I have starved it of fuel and gave it so much it flooded but I can't get it to stay running.
No one around here runs diesels that I know, and no one sells the diesel fuel. I know if I can get it to run I will like it. Most everyone that writes about diesels love them. They say you get more power from Diesels.
I have turned the compression to where it just fires and maybe 1/2 to 3/4 turn more in very small degrees. I don't know if The problem is compression or fuel.

Any help will be appreciated
