dantheman Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Does he prime the carb properly before starting ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 Hello Dan, Yes he primes it but it always appears to flood no matter how little you do it we have a HE 120 and that starts fine his engine usually needs jumping of a car battery to get it going as though his battery has not got enough umph.

dantheman Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Mike will testify that having your battery on a battery conditioner like an OPTIMATE or similair when not flying means your battery is always in tip top condition when you get to the field. My R120 is set up a bit rich and likes a bit of throttle when starting but I'm not a 220 expert so that's all the advice I have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
