Hi Douglas,

What kind of spinner are you using on your model; I have been trying to source a suitable carbon spinner for my Axiome.

If you get really confused and can't get anywhere with the CDi, remove the sprk plug and fit a glow plug and run the engine. If it runs ok then you can attribute the difficulties you are having to the ignition system. Otherwise its an engine problem. The needle setting will be very similar. BTW I've had DZ's run fine on 2 1/4 turns. The needle setting relates to the quality of the machining of the needle valve assembly as well as other components and they do vary from engine to engine. Don't get hung up about it not being exactly 1 1/4 turns. If you can't get the engine to richen by progressivly unwinding the needle, then worry about it! Also it would be worth trying another batch of fuel just to make sure it is ok. Coolpower 30% is as good as any reference you'll have over there.

Best wishes

Keith
