sorry, don't mean to hijack the thread, but since my engine was in the heli when I bought it, and I'm yet to test the engine or install the throttle servo, which way should the throttle lever turn to close the throttle........if I'm looking at it from that side of the engine? I'm scared of starting it up with the throttle open
Not only does the throttle barrel rotate, it also moves inboard and outboard as the barrel is rotated. On my OS32, the barrel moves outboard at open throttle and inboard at closed throttle. The movement is slight but noticeable. Can't promise your carb barrel works the same but it's a way of telling which way it should be at startup without having to look down the throat of the carb.
Good Luck,
