Ralphbf: Good point on the higher compression.....maybe that is why my Hommie 25cc did not cut the buck! On the gas/glow thing....I do agree if you got the right engine set-up it must be good. I do like to get Avator going a bit...that way he tells us all the details on how to get the gas/glow engines purring. I like all engines...and I am still determined to get a good gas/glow engine going. Maybe after I get my new pace-maker installed I can get more done...i hope!!!! Best Regards to all............Capt,n
