The supplied gasket(s), if installed between the carb and the spacer block will allow a huge air leak between the pulse channel in the spacer block and the carb bore...and they are symetrical, so turning and/or reversing them does not improve the situation. Between the spacer block and the motor, the same gasket appears to fit well. It had only one gasket on it when I took it off...but I forgot which side of the spacer block it was on.
The motor did run after accomplishing the initial prime, so if I am thinking correctly about this...the pulse only keeps fuel in the chamber for running, but does not accomplish the initial prime...right??? So, what do I look for to get the thing to prime itself?
Still working away at this little beast.
As for Zenoahs in general...I have a G-45 and a G-62, and they are both extremely reliable. This new little G-26 is just being a difficult learning experience for me, and I really need to get it all sorted out this weekend so I can fly in a local Big Bird event next weekend.
Oh well...it's all good fun.
thanks for all the help guys.
PS. It sure would be nice to have an exploded view on this to show where everything is supposed to go.
