Lean sneeze problem

You have a plane?

A toy one!

>>>You drilled the carb?

It was when Duggie was concentrating on this being a carb issue and needed to set the idle mixture. His OB had an anti-tamper plug over the screw which he drilled to remove.

No I don't have one...I only have about a dozen now but I currently have a couple with bigger engines than this outboard. Not sure what difference that makes though as a lean engine is a lean engine. Unless you are dealing with efi then tweak the needle and go boating.

As for toys, well that is subjective but hey, whatever works.

Be interesting to know how the midgies get into the float bowl then into the jet?

1. There is no float bowl.

2. They get in to the fuel tank via the fuel container.

3. No there are no filters in line before you ask. Not reliable and cause air bubbles with the vibrations which leads to mid air engine cuts more often than debris in tank

4. Keep in mind you are standing in middle of typical damp field so they are really really bad and quite often cause us to pack up and go home.
