Just want to let you know i fixed the problem. I bought some of that real foam rubber last night, and a Sullivan Flex Tank which is soft. The soft tank really seemed to do the trick. Anyway, thanks for your help and time.

Hey Spastic, I talked to fuelman, and I think hes coming Saturday the 3rd. You wanna come over on the Third as well? Any way here is the direction from general Buffalo, I figure you can get on the roads where you need to, [link=http://www.mapquest.com/directions/main.adp?go=1&do=nw&1ex=1&un=m&2ex=1&2tabval=addre ss&cl=EN&ct=NA&1tabval=address&2v=CITY&1y=US&1a=&1 c=Buffalo&1s=NY&1z=&2y=US&2a=2529+Macedon+Center+R d.&2c=Macedon&2s=NY&2z=&idx=0&id=40dae026-001e2-023bd-400c330a&aid=40dae026-001e3-023bd-400c330a]Directions[/link]

Do you have a cell phone? I'll give you mine incase you get lost. If your going to be around Tuesday, that's club meeting night, and afterwards and before there is open flying, wanna come to that too? I'm gonna be there at 4- till whenever.

Hey guys... That stuff from Fuelman is the Shiznit!! It rocks!! Keeps your motor running cool and strong!!

I like it better that the Byron's stuff I used to use.... My goal is to burn the 8 gallon's of it before the next time I see him!!

Why do I suck so much at tuning this thing? I got a gallon of 10% Omega to keep me busy until Fuelman gets here, and the engine won't run well. I ran a tank through it on the ground to tune it up, and I couldn't do it. I adjusted the high end and set it 3-4 clicks rich, then go fix the low end, and when i go to check the throttle response it only goes up to 5000RPMs at full throttle, so I lean out the high end and then the low ends off again. I can't seem to tune this thing if my life depended on it. I think I'm gonna take it to my engine genius friend's house tommorow and have a look at it. I don't like this carb thats on it at all, it's just weird. I think the carb is bad. Oh well, he's got like 50 other carbs i can try out.

These things are a little tough to set.... But the thing about Webra's is they like to run a little on the lean side... You can't set the high end by going 300 - 500 below the peak.... You need to set it just about on peak, then for the low end, run it a little over idle and pinch the line for a few seconds.. If the RPM's come up, it's too rich, if they come down or it quits, it's too lean.... If it doesn't change, its probably just about right.... You might wanna double check your glow plug.

I have seen some with bad carbs... Horizon is really good about replacing them for you....

I'd offer to tune it for you... but since it's much more humid here, it wouldn't help much....

Be patient. You'll get it.

It's not the stock carb, my friend rebuilt this engine from one that was in a helicopter, that's why it has the huge head. Thanks for the tips, tommorow i will try again.

Well, it's all tuned up. 12.25x3.75, 13900 top end and 2900 low end. I'm gonna add some castor oil to this gallon to get the oil up to 20% and hopefully fly it this evening.
