Default RE: ???rookie questions???

i had seen there where airbubbles in the line when it was running at idle but there where not that many (3-4) the engine ran good. if i am getting are is the line how do i fix this? do i have to remove the tank? I hope not lol as this was the fisrt ARFi build and used wood glue to glue the tank in. should Iget a prop blanncer or is it easyer to get a new prop being they are a couple dollars, and the wife is already trying to understand where $500 has gone into 2 planes.



****EDIT**** Iran the plane and looked at the line going into the carb, there are no air bubbles. but i also held the nose up for a long amound of time. you can hear the RPMs increase then the engine will start to stall. but when returned to level the rpms lower and the engine runs smother. also in the 45 seconds the engine was running it got very hot, i know that they do that but that fast???? Ihave never tuned an engine and have moved the nedle so much i have no clue where it needs to be anymore.
