Help with a Webra .46
 

I have a friend that has an old Webra .46 about 8 years ago he built a LT40 and crashed it on his first flight. No experience no instructor not a big surprise. Anyways i found out about it and we have rebuilt his plane but the engine turns over really stiff. I am hoping that it is like that from sitting for so long without ever having been cleaned or anything. Just wondering if there is something that i can do (oil of some type) to get this engine turning over smooth again. Or does he need to buy a new engine?

Thanks Flyboy76

Just get some fuel in it and spin it over, electric starter will help. It should loosen up and should run fine.

I've got an old Webra .40 that's been crashed several times, and still runs like a top. Like was said above, make sure you flush it out REALLY GOOD with fuel, and it should run just fine.

Warm it with a hair dryer until it turns more freely, then install a new glow plug, fill the tank with fresh fuel and try to start it. Unless the arn is completely gummed up, it should run.
