Thanks so much! You two helped a lot! That is one of the things I always want to know is why and how a fuel lock occurs. I know I am still having engine difficulties. Setting the engine up is to me, the hardest part of this whole thing. Last summer I had issues with it losing power and getting too hot. I know I don't have the propper air fuel mixture and am just having a time trying to get that. People have told me that I need to see a certain amount of smoke coming out of it and I have smoke coming out, but not as much as I should. I have never had the amount of smoke that I should. I have had sooooooooooooooooooo much practice now on the flight sim. I am ready to see the real thing, but man! That engine is just such a pain sometimes. When I think I've got it, its like it says look again. You don't have it yet. I know my idle is bad. I can't seem to keep the engine running at all right now. When it does start and it is idling, it shuts off. The it gets fuel locked. I think it's fuel locked. I will do the glow plug thing to find out of thats it. I know it's not the cooling fan problem. I have had that once and thread locked the bolt on there a while ago. The is with the engine just absolutely wont turn. And I am quite sure the battery for my starter is fine. I dought that I need a stronger starter. Do I? Let me hear some more comments.
