I wonder if my fuel tank could be too low? It is about 1/2 '' lower than the carb.
1/2" are too low...
Fuel level in tank during starting procedure MUST NOT BE HIGHER than in the same horizontal plane as jet. A little lower (up to 1cm) is alright. This means that when starting engines in model, especially C/L models, it will be necessary to hold the model in an attitude that this condition is observed, i.e. generally with the tail and outboard wing slightly down, say 10 to 15 degrees.
