G'day Mate,
What size prop are you using? It may be 4 time bigger than your last engine, but it will not have a prop that is 4 times bigger, start with a 12x6.
As was previously stated, it may be flooded, but the best idea is to take it to a club field, & get help, if you don't know how to start an engine, I'm thinking you also don't know how to fly!!!
You may be right on both counts Alan. His only other planes were boats. Re-read post #1. He also mentioned this in another thread you may not have read.
