I forgot 101 ??????
Ok Fellows
Here's the deal and I don't want to hear any laughing, When I started in this hobby about 3 years ago of coarse like everyone I just had to have everything, Well I simple fell in love with two kinds of Glow Engines and they would be Webra'a and Saito's, and I'm proud to say I own ever size engine on both brands, So now that we've got that out of the way, about a year ago I found a new love and her name was Gas engines and bigger planes, 33 35 and 40%, well I have been flying with the gas engines so much, Tonight I was out in my shop going through all my toys, and I was picking out what 3 planes I wanted to take to the field this weekend(glow planes) one of the planes was a U CAN DO 60 size with a Webra 120 with pipes on it, Well here is the problem I have completely forgot all the little tricks to start the damn thing and that just really blows my mind cause I was flying glows all the time, So anyway I was trying to start the engine and all I got at first was nothing just the prop spinning but it wasn't hitting, I then checked the plug,fuel, the fuel line, then i adjusted the needle in which I really didn't remember which way did what or what the high,low, middle you turn this you turn that you do the hookie pookie and you turn yourself around, I just forgot,,,, then I put my starter back on and it fired up for two seconds and almost took my hand, head and neck off, then after that it just did the same thing over and over, best way to describe it is like trying to start an engine with no fuel in it, That's all I'm getting,,, So would someone mind baby walking me back through the steps of getting this motor running again, I would say it hasn't been started for 10 months, Sorry for the forgetfulness..
Thanks a bunch

RE: I forgot 101 ??????
Randy....your carb might have gotten gunked up a bit from sitting. Open up
the throttle....(don't hook up the glow)....with the plane fueled....
....hold a finger tight closing up the exhaust exit, and spin the engine over
with the electric starter. Fuel should spray out of the carb. If fuel is spraying out,
and you have a good glow plug....it should start right up when you hook a
good glow starter to it. Check the glow igniter with a spare plug to see if it is
in fact working, and check the plug in the engine as well.
