Default RE: UCD 60 - What engine?

mikeeast...

I think the 110s (that's what I have) are the worst for adjustment. The engine is pumped up pretty good. I love the way they fly but I spend 6 months of my life that I'll never get back trying to make them work. I finally just kept opening the regulator until I got it tolerable. Then adjusted from there. I had to open the regulator to 3 turns. (flush was about 2) This finally kept them from deadsticking. Now, I'm very impressed. But, just the other day one started giving me problems. The diaphram was shot. I replaced it but couldn't make it work. I sent it in for repair. Turned out I had installed the cover on backwards. It's difficult to tell on those engines.

I would recommend them to people who have 4 stroke experience, but for the first timer or someone who doesn't like to fiddle a bit to get them right, no way.

Anyways...I love the engine but they're not for everybody. For a long time I didn't think they were for me.

Thanks
Barry
