Yep, it's that damn tower hobbies .46 again. I never have gotten this thing to run right but now I am wondering if maybe it is something other than my not knowing how to tune a engine.
I started the thing up to try and tune it so it would not die when I point the plane up. I thought I had it, I was running full throttle and pointed it up twice each time for 15 seconds. No problems. All of a sudden the engine cut down to like half throttle (no, the throttle did not move) This happened while the plane was level. I moved the stick back to half way and gave it full throttle. The engine responded nicely untill all of a sudden it started cutting down to about half throttle. Did the same stuff again but this time it died.
I went to start it again and noticed it needed to be primed. I could not get the thing to prime, I must have spun that prop 40 times before I got fuel to the carb. Also it did not hold the prime worth a darn.
Any ideals guys?
