- Air comes out in the carb ?? It seems, that something's wrong with the
- fuel supply. Are you sure that the hoses are connected to the proper
- nipples ? Did you use the crashed tank for your new model ? Did you
- check the interior connections of the tank ? The hoses could be
- damaged due to the crash ....
- Open the needle valve a bit more and blow into the pressure line
- (muffler) for some seconds. You must see fuel reaching the carb. If
- not, your fuel support still is damaged ...

- Bye,
- Torsten.
