RE: 50cc Sukhette Build Thread, now in progress!!
Speaking of engine setup. My toc53 is a standard setup. I have run 4 or 5 tanks of fuel thru it and it runs great. At WOT I am reading 6800 rpm, it has a great, stable idle and good throttle response. The only issue I have had is getting it started in the first place. I have the cowl removed so I can watch everything and notice that there is not as much fuel draw when choked as I anticipated. It takes a lot of flipping or holding my finger over the choke plate hole to get all the air out of the line. Once the line is fully "primed" everything is great. Has anyone else experienced this? Suggestions? Once the cowl is in place life gets tougher since it is hard to reach anything or see what is going on inside. And I try to be really careful being in front of such a large prop, so I dlo't like random flipping of the prop in case of a sudden unanticipated firing. I do empty the tank after each session so the line is empty each time I start the engine again.
