Raptor 90 Setup problems
Why does my C spec engine on the raptor 90 run smooth then suddenly stops dead, and then also seems to be ceased at the thrust bearing when I want to restart it?
Please help

Mornin...
Just a thought as I was going through the various old posts on Google...
A lot of the engines have a tendancy to stop suddenly when the engine overheats....

Checked engine mounting, and clutch bell, will loosen everything again, and realign.
The engine has burned only two tanks so far, nothing wrong with it, only the starter seems to cease completely!

90 c-spec with or without pump if it is pumped start it with fuel shut off (if on pump will fill crank and lock it up) not so bad after brake in. may want to try with 2 washers on glow plug to lower pressure in head or use (1 xtra) .008" head shim till after eng. has 1 or 2 hours if flight time.[

it will get better

Thanks Bill,
So you say its the pump locking up the crank, and not the clutch ceasing?
