hey same exact engine I used on my 1st trainer

I still have it.
Here's a pic of it next to my Saito FA-45
We did the remote needle valve conversion back in the 80's

I found mine ran best with an idle bar plug when I was flying with it 15 years ago.

I had the same issue with the Saito, it took a little tweaking of the idle screw to get it running off the glow starter. It was way to lean after moving from Washington to up here in Colorado.

I haven't run the .35 up here yet.. I lost the stupid muffler..

If you give up sell me the muffler and strap
