Great Power 38

I actually did get it running momentarily but before I could adjust the RPM down and adjust the low needle it stopped. It did not start again even after loads of flips. maybe it is the reed block? This is a bad show considering the engine has had maybe a total of 90 mins flying time. AerobatX do have a reed block kit at £41.00. Surely I should not need this just yet? Or am I just throwing more dough at it and still not solving the problem? At this rate of buying bits and getting nowhere I should swap it out for a DLE35

I'm no expert, but from experience cracked or warped reeds can cause poor starting. Definitely worth checking them.

PS fancy fixing my DA60, it runs but poorly. Needle adjustment does nothing!!!! :lol:

Ah, that sounds like fuel regulator or metering what ever you wanna call it

Have planned to strip the carb and clean ect.
Good luck with GP38!!

Swap it Phil!

I have checked the reed block and spacer to verify that the pulse can get to the carb body. Maybe the gaskets in between were leaking and reducing pulse pressure? Kevin is going to check over the carb in case I have missed something.
