So, I should get something like this in hand before the stocker causes a potential melt down.@Dirty30J the issue with the plastic version is it will warp. Your putting a bandaid on a situation and eventually it will come back but this time it will be in the form of an air leak.
i will check these items.Those Teflon insulators are a joke, when this happens is the gas in the bulb bubbling? I see your using the ddm gas cap, that ball may have stuck on you, do yourself a favor and drill that ball out of there, over time mine stuck. Undo the cap and watch the fuel in the line, thread the cap back on and see If the fuel pushes up the feed line.
Timing….. yeah spark can jump a good 3/8-1/2” gap cold or hot engine,so timing is new to me. I kind of figured it was set on an engine like this?@Dirty30J so the only plugs I'd keep or the 2 to the left, everything to the right is fouled. The ball moving is good, if you can see if the carb bulb is bubbling when this happens. I'm finding it peculiar that it's flooding from running and being lean on the settings. It's got compression that's obvious because it pops when you go to start it. I wonder If it's spark related or somehow your timing is off where the fuel isn't able to burn enough before the next fuel/air charge.
I cannot disagree with this. Some have had great luck with what they got out of the box which is why I went with all of this. I wanted a larger engine without doing taylor$$$ so got this 38cc to start with, as the RTR with the 38cc was out of stock.So if it runs on choke it's sounding like there's not enough fuel to burn with the added air coming into the engine. This could also mean there could be an underlying issue with the engine itself, broken ring,stuck ring,broken piston, etc. At this point if it was me I'd be stripping the engine down to know if the internals are OK but also this is why I don't entertain clone stuff. I know some people will chime in and say their stuff works great, that's all good and great but it seems to be the roll of the dice and luck of the draw with these engines. Unfortunately your luck with them isn't good and that's not your fault.
