fuji 32B problems
I got a fuji 32b last year and ran it in on 25:1 gas/oil mix as instructed. I ran about a gallon through it and everything was fine but when I changed it to 40:1 i just couldnt get it to run correctly. it was always hard to start but now its alot worse and I have done everything according to the manual.
CAN ANYONE HELP? PLEASE!!!!!!

] the diaphragm is fine! why is this engine so hard to start, i thought gas engines are easier to start?? I have both low and high needle set according to the manual. when it finally does decide to start it will run for about 5 seconds and then cut out and then it takes another 10 min to get started again.

What is your start up regimen? How is your prop set for flipping. On glow engines, with a battery producing ignition heat to the glow plug, we typically begin the prop right at compression and flip it through. Ignition is not an issue as the glow plug is already lit and remains so. With a spark plug, the moving magnet crossing the coil produces the momentary spark for ignition, and the key there is to have the magnets well in motion by the time they get to the coil. What works for me is to start the prop while the magnets are about 90 degrees from the coil so that when they pass the coil they are already moving at a good speed and produce the hot spark needed for ignition. My G-38 hand starts very reliably with this set up. I hope this is helpful.
