RE: Engine keeps flooding before start
If you burn the fuel out of your engine at the end of the flying day, as you should.....Then you only need to prime the engine on the first start attempt of the next flying day....Any priming after that will lead to flooding.....
I'll tell you how I prime my glow engines.....after I have checked the control throws...with the glow stick still off....I open the throttle wide open, and like you place my thumb over the carb. I turn the prop in the direction of rotation by hand until I see fuel just get to the carb...then another rotation.....close the throttle flip up throttle cut to run or adjust trim..attach the glow stick and start using an electric starter......
Hows your glow plug?...you might want to check it...you're looking for the whole coil to glow not just part of it and it should be brighter than cherry red......
loet us know how things work out for ya
