I have been defeated...

Had some time this Sunday morning, before the Patriots beat whomever they are playing this afternoon, to fire up the reluctant Stik RCGF 10cc. She ran okay before I changed the piston ring and rebuilt the motor and the carb to clean everything out. I have managed to get her to run a little here and there, but for the past several tries I cannot get her to even burp.

I fueled her, and some gas blew out the vent onto the ground, but more was added to the pool as I ran the electric starter again and again, and it dripped from the muffler. I took off the plug, it looks good, and dried her out, tried again, no joy. I have the needles set 1-1//2 turns now, have had them as high as 3-4. I know she has spark, I know she has fuel, I know she has compression, I don't know why she won't run.  She has always been the cantankerous one, my other RCGFs run fine.

Time to send her to the team At RCGF-USA and have them figure it out. Joe, she will be coming your way next week...
