Default Problem with Moki 1.35

Hello -

I recently bought a Moki 1.35 that was used. The first few times I fired it up on my test stand it ran well for 2-3 minutes and then seemed to get hot and died. After those 3 runs it will now not do much. The engine dos'nt seem to want to pick up fuel. When the engine is cold I take the tube off the muffler and blow into the tank which sends fuel to the carb. It will run for a few seconds and then dies. If I try to advance the throttle while it is running it simply slows and dies. I tried adjusting the idle knob and found that if moved more than just a little bit all fuel would be blocked. Also, the piece that is moved by the throttle servo and determines the amount of air to the carb has fallen out a number of times. It seems to just be held in with a small gasket. I'm using 5% fuel to try to keep the engine cool. Also, this engine looks to be an older model as compared to some recent adds that I've seen.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks,

Brian
