Hi
I have been running this engine in my stratus for probably 6 gallons.
the engine has been running a little rich! but great until this morning.
It runs very rich, and it doesn't start to run OK "not good" until i closed the middle range needle , and the main needle only opened with only 2 clicks????
it climbs nice at full throttle but runs very rich at hover.
i have to run out excessive fuel with some climb-outs to get the engine to even enter idle up (1950) from hover rpm (1550)
i even tried with a borrowed szh ps carburetor but with the same result
i run with air vented tank, home blended fuel 20% klotz 20% Nitro.
The fuel was working fine the day before :?
I am the only one at our club that haven't had any problems with this engine, Everyone else has changed their setup to the cline version
due to their engines running lean
Anyone have a suggestion :?:
Best Regards
