Another good day
« on: February 21, 2023, 03:34:52 PM »
As the heading says another good day for the DOC.  Got the basic wing framed uo on a kit I'm cloning.  then realized the temps in the 50F degrees.  The engine for the DOC Special fired up like it should and ran great.  Then I fussed with a Fox 35 Stunt I had gottenoff the baywith a bunch of other stuff.  Who ever had these engines did not treat them well.  Oh one of the Fox's went to Canada.  This Fox today waould start and quit Thennit showed me the head was not tight.  Had needle in and then out.  Finally got it started and it sounded lean.  Opened needle and played with it  and even pulled the needle valve assemblt.   Last resort was to stuff some thin the intake.  Now I have to flood it to get it to start.  Now I'm going to put  a Randy Smith needle assmbly in it.  More later when I get to it.
