Troy,

I have several 110's, but this is the first that I can't get to run.

It is mounted on a Velox inverted. It ran fine for quite a while. The last time I had it to the field, it smoked excessively. When I got it home, I tried to fire it up but it would not. I could prime it and when the prime was gone, it would die. I checked (and changed) the fuel tank, lines, filter, check valve with no success. I adjusted the valves. I pulled the regulator apart but could see nothing out of the ordinary.

I am using Magnum 30% YS fuel, YS glow plug.

I would like some advice on what to do next, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

Try pulling the HS needle valve out of the engine and spinning it over with a electric starter (no glow attached) this should have casue fuel to flow from the needle assembly and flush any dirt or debris from the needle seat.

Also is this a 110FZ...if it is there is a small protrusion on the regulator body. If the protrusion is not pointing toward the prop the regulator is installed backward....and it will likley not run becasue of this. Also any regulator parts that are not re-installed properly will casue the regulator to not work and either stay open all the time or stay closed all the time.

I would take the HS needle and spin it over. If fuel comes out the needle seat then its getting fuel.

If you get no fuel then its either regulator issue or fuel line and tank issue.

It is a 110FZ. I just checked. Some dummy put that reg. on backwards(me).

Thanks, Troy
