RE: gas fuel with glo plug no ignition
Ok; I went to a bigger carb, don't know the size.
With stock weedie muffler on glow, constant drive
MA Classic 16x8 6300 Zinger 16x8 5800 APC 16x8 6000 MA 14x6 8??? can't read my writing
Removed some of the muffler's restrictions and got the following
MA Classic 16x8 6850 Zinger, no test APC 16x8 6900 MA 14x6 8800
Then put it back on mag with the same gas/alcohol mix
MA Classic 16x8 7050 MA 14x6 8800
Then put it on regular gas mix and mag. Normal setup.
MA Classic 16x8 7000 Zinger 16x8 6350 APC 16x8 7050 MA 14x6 8500
Getting a good transition is a problem. I can get it to do it but the adjustments have to be JUST RIGHT. And I have to open it a little slower. I can slow down the throttle speed on my radio. Always do it on most gassers. It lets me keep from having to set the low screw so rich to get it to transition that it blubbles at mid range. And the slowed servo gives the same response as the normal adjustments with the normal lag. Once inn a while I find an engine that doesn't have this problem, but most do by my experience.
And with the glow mix I end up with the low side opened way up and the high side closed down to get it to run it's best. Guess that's what you get for trying to run alcohol thru a gas carb.
Oh and yes this engine runs just fine on a regular gas mix and the compresion checked 125psi hot, 135psi cold.
For what it's worth the mag timing checked 25 BTDC
