Hi There,

As new as can be. Have a RC boat with an OS60SR MAX installed (Way too big for boat but hey, who's complaining) The boat and I have been apart for a number of years and have now been re-aquanted.

I have de-installed all the equipment. I have repaired, resprayed and resurected the hull as best as possible. The OS60 was a sight. Cleaned, stripped off the carby, gently, soaked the needle valve and carby in Meths, and put the whole thing back together. Then all the bad memories returned. This was a dog to run before and now it's even worse.

I'm running 10% Nitro 'Buggy Fuel'. A Taipan 'Hot Long Reach' glow plug, new fuel tank, lines, filter and that'll do. I've read all the hints in these forums - 1 1/2- 2 turns of the bottom needle, 2 turns for the top and start with just a small opening on the Carby. Then I get all sorts of bad things. Fuel everywhere is the main problem. It seems that the thing is running extra extra lean????. it idles for a very short time and either dies or does the 'wake the neighbours' scream. When I put my finger over the carby to stall it, it kept running for about another 20 seconds. I was ready to pull the fuel line. Any help would be appreciated :-(
