Hi ED it’s the high end jet I’m Im used to just seeing a hole this has a brass jet. Hi Paul yes bought one of the meter needle level tools and it’s fine. Haven’t done anything with the pop off pressure

Hi thanks for the replies guys bit of an update. I noticed the engin ran better when the plane was upside down, so I span the engin round so the carb was at the top and it ran really well but I notice fuel spitting out the top where the high speed port is of the carb. I but the engine back in its correct position with a velocity stack on it it ran great managed to fly in 40mph winds ?. 2 questions have I just covered over a problem still there, could the brass nozzle be installed/drilled wrong? Mick PS my meter needle setting gauge turned up the needle is set spot on

Thanks for the reply engine doctor I have looked at the needle valve and it seems okay I’ve sent for a new valve spring etc and a gauge to check it’s right. I am tempted to buy a new carb because this has been like this from new so maybe a faulty car, just don’t want to spend £60 if it’s the same when done mick

Hi all a bit of advice please. I have a dle 40 twin this was installed from new in a pilot Extra It never ran right from now seems to bog on acceleration no matter how I tuned it. I thought it was just running in but it got worse and started cutting out never overcome it end eventually lost the extra when it cut on take of and hit a fence. I left it for a while then put it in a hangar 9 ultra stick . I’ve tried 2 different carb and 2 different ignitions I’ve lapped in the reed valves still the same probably a bit worse cutting at tick over. I noticed fuel dripping out of the carb so I tried with the model upside down so the carb is at the top and it seemed good. Any advice on how to get it working the right way round? I guess fuel is siphoning into the carb The tank is as low as I can get it. Sorry for the essay

thanks Jesus im am using a 617 reciever so the batt f/s doesn’t show up I think I’ll plug a Niamh strait into the reciever and try that eliminate all the switch Bec wiring etc see what happens. mick
-
Cheers guys is the voltage cutoff preset and if it is what voltage? If it isn’t where do you set it? mick
-
Thanks for the reply frank I’m fairly certain I put the throttle down and back up as the manual says it should reset for a while and it did not. I’m running a 2s lipo and Bec might try a Nimh and see what happens. Is there a way of setting the voltage or is it preset? mick Edited By Michael Black on 22/01/2020 13:58:08

Hi Malcolm hope you can help me again, I’ve been have a problem with the 2 models I fly in the winter. they fly okay for a couple of mins then go to tick over, I’ve been caching thong like breathes changing servos etc. Today it happened and I found the throttle servo not working investigated and found it was the failsafe if I disabled the failsafe the servo worked fine. Enabled the failsafe and it was stuck again. so I guess it’s either the Receiver or the transmitter I have also hadl their problem with another model but never narrowed it down the the electronics problem I have is I can’t repeat it at home, and even at the field it’s intermittent. have you any ideas? edited to add the rest of the control surfaces work fine no glitches able to land on tick over mick Edited By Michael Black on 22/01/2020 13:38:44

Cheers Malcolm nailed it again. thanks Mick
