No I don't really have any experienced flyers here. I will have to some how tough this one on my own. I will have to see what type of carb that I have. I think the high end needle is long, but what you are talking sounds like it is acting like the 13c carb. I figured out I think my problem is not that it is fuel locked. I think I need a new charger for the starter battery. I have kind of kept the charger in some weather and temperature conditions. I have had it for about 3 years anyway. It was a quick charger used for my electric cars, but it has the black and red pinchers that I used to charge the starter battery. Maybe I am not using the proper charger. Could it be the motor in the starter could be running bad too?
