Default RE: Help needed with 52cc Hobby King engine

ORIGINAL: rdrude

I am going to post my question here in case no one is active on the TGY 52 thread.
Ok, need some help. Got my 1st gallon through the engine with no problems... matter of fact it ran great. Well, I took off last weekend, and engine died in flight right after takeoff. It has never done that before. Dead sticked it and found that the spark plug came loose. Tightened it up and now I can not get it to go above half throttle without dying. Idle and up to half sitck is just fine. Any ideas? I have adjsted the needles with no luck. What should I look for?
Thanks,
Rob

His motor runs GREAT for the money...

Only thing missing is a manual that answers question like this..
