Well after a month away from the hobby to move house, look after my kids whilst my wife went to hospital and had another baby, and generally sweat it out whilst our monsoon season rapidly approaches, I have finally found the time to get back into things. I have fixed my plane after the crash and although it does not have that new look anymore at least it can fly again. The main problem I am having now is with the engine. When I get it started I start turning the mixture screw in and usually only get around half a turn in and the engine dies.(Im starting the plane with the screw 1 and a half turns open). The other problem I have is at full throttle the engine surges as if it is losing fuel. I have checked the fuel tank and bung for leaks and it seals tight and I also checkd the fuel lines but they too seem okay. Anyone have any suggestions??

Regards,
