If you havent run it in a while, try spraying a little fuel in the carb air inlet like I suggest to Admar, above. I use a fuel stabilizer in my gas to help prevent the tiny inlets from gumming up.Ken Schroeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11792686126519801598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2973001257469712096.post-53064093996993936552020-03-24T17:54:47.164-05:002020-03-24T17:54:47.164-05:00Admar, goodness, I have completely forgotten to mo...Admar, goodness, I have completely forgotten to moderate comments and just saw yours toda. Apologies, I am sorry. I suppose you have gotten the engine to work. If you have trouble getting fuel in, try spraying a little directly into the open carb, the choke it, finger over the inlet or the choke, and start it. This gives quite a few pressure changes and often leads to getting it started. If problems persist and it's an RCGF-USA engine, reach out to Joe Nelson on the website. He'll get you running. If you bought a Valkey View RC one, you are on your own, those are not real RCGF engines.Ken Schroeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11792686126519801598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2973001257469712096.post-55568037906133243352020-03-24T17:53:59.140-05:002020-03-24T17:53:59.140-05:00Franck, goodness, so sorry!

It was running ok on colder days but as soon as it gets warm outside...no joy!!!<br />What do you do with that pressure connector that was plugged to the fuel pump!! (Piece that screwed on the side of cylinder) ???<br />Thanks for sharing your work!!!Franckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04532164718079585494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2973001257469712096.post-69446675062525120712018-07-31T06:48:08.774-05:002018-07-31T06:48:08.774-05:00Hi Ken,

After doing very quietly all the necessary installations, including modifying the throttle arm with reference to what you did, the engine will not start. When i turn the propeller it does not pump fuel into the engine. I checked tank, fuel lines, batteries, spark plug, needles, but everything is installed correctly. I have a Valiant with a DLE 35RA and have already replaced the carburetor repair kit, it works perfectly. So I'm not so rookie, but I'm not a carburetor expert, either. Could you give me a hint of what might be happening?<br /><br />Best Regards,<br />AdmarAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17014067278001161154noreply@blogger.com
