ok thanks ron. i think that was the problem. i richened it up abit and it ran very nicely. i have more questions!

how do you not break in a engine? and how do you know when your glow starter needs chargin? AND is it ok for me to run 10% nitro and 20% oil fuel? One more: today i was running my hammer and i would start it up and let it run at idle for a less then a minute and i noticed that smoke or exost (sp?) was coming out the hole that the water usually comes out of when you run it. does this mean im killing my engine or is that supposed to happen? im guessing that exost is just exiting the engine through there and the exost pipe.
