thanks for all the help guys. the first thing i did was put in a new glow plug but it still won't run. i'm using 10% cool power and have a 14x6 prop on it. it seems like i have to really flood it to get it to pop off and then it dies in like 3 seconds. the needle valve is turned out to 2 1/2 turns and i've been turning on the mixture screw on the left side of the carb. i think that should be out 1 1/4 turns but don't know for sure.
i've got a tt 46pro and an os61fx that i tuned with no problems but this one sure is baffling.
again, i really appreciate all your help!
