Default RE: MDS Engine issue

Well a little more testing showed some things. One, I have not flown it yet as Icannot get her running correctly.... Second she most definately was running CW at more then half throttle, it was jsut doing it earlier. Iwas startting by flipping the engine CCW, it was running CW..... Istarted flipping the prop CW to start her and she would run CCW. got 4 starts with only CWprop flips all were running CCWas a result of using this method. I will start running 5% with maybe a OSA8.... that should be a hot enough plug right? Ijsut dont get it. You jsut said it couldnt run CWat half throttle or higher....but it will...why is this?!!By the way THANKSfor all the great info guys were are getting there slow but sure.

Iam wondering could this be some sort of cumbustion problem? Could it be firing to hard or not enough? Anyone think that it is actually the engine itself? Ijsut want to rest my mind that its not a mechanical issue....and I can breath a little easier.... however, I plan on going to gas but would like to fly her as Idecided what gas engine to go with... As I mentioned a CWflip on the prop seems to get her running right, but she dies out sometimes when the glow ignighter is removed, but will run just fine as long as it is at half throttle or above. Transitioning from half to idle or idle to half to quickly causes her to die.... Ialso wish my electric started would work better, she is a BIT*H to get running until I get her some fuel. An electric starter would get it up there faster lol..... o well. Sounds like she may be rich too but Iwill mess with that later.... Thanks.
