i will try that.
when you say wash them out....do you mean the holes or the needles themselvs.

i kept trying to adjust the needles today.
i finaly got it to start at the high end of the throtle but the high needle had to be turned 3 and 1/2 turns from closed.
i had the low needle set to 1 1/4 turn from closed.
when it started i adjusted the high needle until it ran smooth.
i could bring the throtle down to idle but when i tried to bring the throtle back up it would stall at half way.
i opend low needle valve a little here and there until the transition problem stoped.
the only thing is i did not like the poping now and then at the halfway.
i messed with the needles some more but i realised i am already pritty far out at the high which can't be good.
any ways... i am back to square one.

i should mention the enginge is less than a year old but i did have a belly flop ia a farmers field.
not too much damage to plane but powdery dirt every where.
my plane was in a hover when the engine quit.
people where messing with the needle valve trying to adjust the engine before crash
when i took it home to try to start it the engine would start then stall right away.
i checked everything even took engine apart to make sure no dirt got on the inside.
i checked filters, carberator...all that. thats what led me to the steps i took up top.
even replaced ignition box and cables.

one more thing. the metal inlet tube on the carberatur that the fuel line hooks up to
spins freely. not real loose but enough. could this be a vacum problem for the diaphrams?

thank you
