Default RE: Moki 2.1 in the Wagstaff Extra

I really appreciate your responce. I have been having problems trying to figure out this site as to how to post and get answers. I thought I knew something about postings however this site has really got me stumped. Oh well, on to the crux of the matter. You are right about the be-carefuil suggestion with this engine. It got my thumb on a kick back right at the thump nail yesterday and it is a little sore. I did get the engine running by pure luck yesterday(hand flipping) however it was running backwards. As a thought, I also have checked the spray bar and it is in the right position. I have been all over the RCU sight and have read each and every suggestion as you have by phone calls and the opinions run rampid. This sport is not an exact science for fixing engine problems. I have tried various plugs also, just to see what the outcome would be and it did not matter which type of glow plug I used "at this point". I have also installed the remote glow plug feature. You are the first to suggest to me the idle mixture control adjustment and I could not find anything in the strings that talk about that. I do not have a manual for this engine. I bought it on RCU from a person that claimed it only ran once. I wonder what happened to the manual! I am still waiting for a reply from him. The engine will not turn over with a starter. I am going to also try hooking up my golfcart starter I converted to an engine starter to my truck battery to see if I can keep it running. One other thing; The glow plug gets flooded with fuel at the slightest rich mode because of the inverted position when trying to get fuel to the cylender head. I have come to the concusion that a cline regulater is a must for this engine especially if inverted. I have 4 questions for you if you don't mind. 1- where you able to get your engine running without the Cline reg? 2- what do you recommend for a glow plug? 3- what fuel are you useing. I am useing 5% as recommended by most people I have talked to. 4- Can you tell me how many turns on the mixture control to try and get it started. I believe your suggestion will work. I won't know until next tues. Your suggestions makes sense. I will keep you posted. Thanks.
Ron.
