Default cline reg o.s. 1.60fx

where is the best place the mount the reg? inbetween the needle and carb or between the needle and tank? my 1.60 is a pain in the ass to start once it starts it runs ok.

also does anyone have any pics of there setups with a remote needle valve?

How is your starting technique?

If it runs ok why bother with the pump? you may end up adding a problem to your setup.

tell us more about your setup and give us some info...


What I do is:
Open the carb,
put the finger over the carb,
flip the prop firmly to prime the engine properly (without glow plug battery)...
flip again several times without choking
put the throttle at idle, put the glow battery
backflip with the spinner or flip the prop backwards and the engine usually runs.

Mount the regulator almost against the needle valve.

Works better to be between the needle valve and the tank.

if i prime it i still have to use a starter and spin it for atleast 10-15 seconds for it to light off then the throttle is mushy til it for about 20 secs, tank pressure it good no visable leaks, my friend has the same engine and reg and he can back flip his no problem i havent been able to get a hold of him though


W8ye: so do you hang the reg by the fuel line?

I've seen them just hanging by the fuel lines. I've also seen them tie wrapped to the fire wall

It looks secure enough

If you get some mixture variation problems, replumb it to be before the needle valve.

Having the Cline between the Needle Valve and the carb leads to there being little rich surges of fuel allowed in the engine as the needle & seat valve in the Cline opens, the fuel in the line from the needle valve to the Cline can rush into the engine. As the engine begins to run this settles down and is not so noticable.

I am no proponent of the Cline sytem, although I do own one. It to, was bought to "solve" a fuel tank location issue. It did not. It is better to eliminate the problem than trying to solve it with a Cline. But to the point of this post. I talked to Bill who makes and sells this system and he was emphatic that the regulator goes between the needle valve and the carb when used with a remote needle valve.

Where did you talk to him at?

I'm sorry to say that he passed away some time back. He is no longer with us.
