Default Need help for Magnum 28 2stroke

the problem that I am having is when I get the fuel to the carb and then turn the motor over to start the fuel wants to go back to the fuel tank. IF I put my finger over the muffler or the carb to draw fuel it will do that. I can get it started but I can't keep it running. I have turned the LSN out to very rich as well as the HSN. Motor get very hot to the touch after only a couple of minutes. How far should the LSN be to start. The HSN is about 4 turns out.

Is this a new engine?, have you consulted the manual?, if not it is here near the bootom of the page http://www.globalhobby.com/review/reviews.asp What prop are you running? The LSN should never be adjusted ( if engine is new ) til it is broken in, 4 turns sounds like a lot to me based on my mag .15 and .46

I have a magnum 28 that I am having problems getting fuel to the motor. I put on a new tank, new lines, new clunk and new line from the remote needle to the carb. It will run if I put my finger over the muffler or the carb opening. If I remove the needle valve and blow in the vent line I get all kinds of fuel coming out. This engine to my knowledge and been taken apart, could the piston be in backwards? I am not sure what else to check.
