Default RE: O.S. 1.60 Cookbook Engine Issue

Is the tank considerably lower than in the other airplanes? Are you using a different fuel filter that may be more restrictive? Are you sure the o-ring on the bottom of the carb is sealing properly?

Hi Jon,
I have been running your Cookbook set up for a couple of years now with Great Success. I hate using starters and if I have to use one somthing is not right. I have a new VF3 with OS160 and VP30 with ES pipe. It will not pull fuel to the motor untill I choke it ( finger in the venturi at open throttle) for maybe forty revolutions. My other 160 and 140 will get my finger wet in five or six rotations. After I get fuel to the motor it performs great. Any thoughts please?
Thanks much,
Rick Cilles RC11
