Default RE: BME 110x problems

Thank guys for all your responses. I think DKJENS hit the nail on the head, maybe my spelling was wrong. I don’t want to add to the war with DA and BME owners, just want to have fun at the field with a good reliable engine.
I am glad some of you are having good success with your 110’s I wish I was one.
I totally agree with DESERTPIG that you put more load on the engine on a ground run but there is nothing worse than a dead stick landing on first flight when you are trying to trim out. Other wise you may end up like CRASH90. It’s better to sort out problems on the ground than in the air.
The sipping cost from OZ are $260.00 return.
The factory settings are 1 and qtr low and 1 and half high and I was winding the needle OUT from that point NOT IN.
The throttle was brought up slowly though the rev range to the high end and back down we had a taco on and it was pulling 6,600 rpm. Then back down by the 2dr or 3dr time we noted that the rev had dropped by 600 rpm. I was trying to get the engine to blubbery rich but it wasn’t happing. I hope that gives you guys some more info.
If you guys with 110x adjust your high needle out to 3 and 1 qtr turns would your engines run at all (very rich) regardless of the environment? I am happy to take responsibility if I have done wrong but I believe I haven’t in this case. I sill think that if the engine was tested at the factory they would have picked up problem 1-2 and 3. Slack quality control. I am no 2 stroke engine mechanic but I think the carbie is sucking air from some where or a blocked jet etc. I probably will never know now.
