today i bolted on a prehistoric tillison carb with around a 12-13mm venturi and mixed up some gas and normal 2-stroke oil.
i put this in a dubro tank with what ever little 5-18 fuel was left in there (around .5oz) and primed it up.
a cable tye around the decompressor to hold it in and i fired it up on gas/glow because the original ign had conked out for the moment.
let i idle for a while and tryed to run away from all of the smoke pouring out of the muffler LOL.
i killed it by puting on the choke.
all of that was achived withought glow power to the plug.

i liked the smooth idle so much that i will keep it on gas/glow with no nitro at all ($$$ and it has the high compression so it's ok)

so now i need to turn up a prop hub on the lathe and then get a large prop, i'm thinking a 20" APC?

but the bad news is that one of the 3 crank case bolts broke off[]
that did not affect the perfornamce yet. i'll have to drill it out and tap a new one.
here are soem pics after a test run...
