Engine Trouble. Please Help
 

I have a tower hobbies .46. I started it up once, and it ran decently well. However, it will not start up again. Even when I prime the engine, i cannot get any fuel into the fuel line. Fuel is getting into my exhaust too. I know this is a newbie problem. I also think it has something to do with the needle valve. Any suggestions on adjusting it? It may also be flooded. I'm not sure about any of it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Sounds like fule lines are switched, are you using a two or three line set up?

I have a three line setup. My plane came ready to fly.

If you were running of the 'fill' line,(hooked to needle valve) It would run for awhile untile level got below that tube in tank. Pressure in tank MAY be pushing fuel back to muffler.
Just a Thought.

If you have fuel in the exhaust then remove the glow plug, turn the plane with hole down and turn the prop a few times. It maybe flooded. Also with the plug out, connect your ignitor and check to see if your plug is good. It is not uncommon for a new engine to eat a plug or two. When filling the tank, draw some fuel back from the tank, this prevents fuel from overflowing into the muffler and engine.

The tower engines seem to take a long time to break in. My .46 didn't start to run smooth until i ran about 10 tanks through it.
