O.K. Got my plane all finished and ready to head to the airport. One problem though, can't start the engine(G26). I did get it to start yesterday after a lot of tries and it ran great. Tried it again and it finally started again. Today I got it running for a few seconds and that's it. After I choke it, I flip it a few times and it pops but never runs. Any ideas?

Use a cheapo starter motor. I use the Magnum gear driven starter, it was about $25 at my LHS. Easily starts using it. I gave up hand starting mag engines a long time ago. Put that APC up front and have it kick on you once and (if you still have your finger left) you will know why hand starting Zenoah's are not smart...
