Tile, if you'll give me until tomorrow, Ill check those settings for you. You'll want to use low nitro 5% and prop it for about 8,500 rpm. An idle bar plug is almost a must. When set up right, it will run all day long without so much as a hiccup. Is it the older silver one or the latest black one. I have two of the .61s, an old silver one and one of the last series black ones that runs on gasoline.

It did have a black head,but the rest of it is silver.I had it running great before,but had to replace the bearings and clean the carb.Now I can't seem to get the settings right.
