Carburation problems
 

I have a stick with motor tower hobbies .46 ball bearing ABC. - today's I had problems with the carburation, to the regular one the needle of high and to thoroughly hurry, the motor went out, for what I also had to regulate the needle of low, being presented the same problem in every time that I lit the motor. - Somebody knows like I can fix this problem.

Usually when the engine quits in flight, the mixture is set too lean on the High speed.

Make the engine run the fastest and then screw the high speed needle out about three clicks to richen the mixture a little.

Enjoy,

Jim

That that your you tell me I already made it and she/he always goes out in high, I also changed the spark plug, I revised the tank of fuel, the hoses and the problem persists.

Juan,

Try going a little more richer.

Have someone hold your plane vertical when you adjust it?

Jim:
Indeed, when I will adjust the mixture, a friend sustains my airplane while I regulate the needle of high, also the needle of low, but the problem persisted.
It will be that the spark plug that I use is A-3 and he needs an A-8
Apologize for my writing in language groins, but I am learning how to speak to it

Jaun,

Wish I could help you more but you have just about covered all the areas that I usually look at...

Thank you Jim for everything, perhaps another person that participates in the forum could give me an idea that he is what passes to my motor

If you haven't checked it as yet, it is possible that the fuel line on the fuel pickup tube in the fuel tank has either slipped off, or it has a hole in it. It is also possible that the weighted pickup tip on the end of the fuel line in the tank has slipped off.

If this is not the problem, tell me if the engine was running okay during previous flights and if this behavior of quitting is recent.

Check that the engine's backplate is tight and that all of the carb mounting screws are tight. An airleak can cause similar symptoms.
