Default RE: Gilbert .11 Engines

ORIGINAL: AWC

Glad to have found you all takling about Gilbert engines.
Considering this thread is two years old, that's kind of an overstatement.

My dad sent me some from the UK to use in vintage models for FF. They are all used, and I am having trouble with them.
I can get them to start on 15% Nite fuel better than 25% Nite. My problem is they run backwards more often than forwards.
Can anyone offer suggestions please to resolve this.
An electric starter will solve this.


Steve, I sent you a PM.
