Hi all,

I am after some advice on an old motor of mine.
I left the hobby several years ago and had an old Chinese made (Mutunug) 61 2 stroke motor laying around. This motor had only been used for 5 or 6 flights.

A few weeks ago, I pulled out of the box and found it was partly seized. I left it soaking in glow fuel for a couple of days and then completely disassembled it and put it back together. There was no evidence of rust or corrosion and now it spins freely.

The problems I am now having are several.

The motor leaks fuel by the shaft (at front)
When I try to start the motor, it floods and the prop nut comes loose. No matter how tight I tighten the prop nut, it always works loose. (I am using a plastic spinner and an electric starter).

I don't have the manual anymore and am unable to locate one.

Where should I start with the needle settings?
How can I stop the flooding?
How do I seal the front of the motor?

Any help would be greatly appreciated
