ACEHOBBYS

Sure never expected a reply from you. One thing for sure, I will be looking at ACE for future supplies with this type of customer service.

Idon't believe it is the engine nor do the experienced flyers. It runs like a top on the low and high ends once started and no problem in flight. So it would have to be fire or fuel. We replaced the glow plug but that didn't help and the plug glows ok when removed from the engine and hooked to the glow starter. But I am going to try the OS #8 plug as recommended in a post.

So it seems the problem would have to deal with fuel.

Now the centerline of the gas tank is nowhere nearly in line with the needle valve as I have read it should be. The needle is just a hair above the top of the gas tank and with the LT-40 there is no way to move it. But I don't think that is the problem either as there are other LT-40's and Senior Kadets running TT engines and they don't have a starting problem.

I don't know what it is but I am going to replace the whole fuel system (and pressure test it first which I did not do with this one).and see if that solves it. If not I will take you up on your offer because the engine is only a couple of months old.
