gee guys, what am I going to do with this engine ???? ?
I have this (never mounted/never started) BH Hanson port modified G20, I bought it new for a Heli (Century Radical 20), I have about $560 in it and I tried selling it on RC Groups for $425 shipped, not even an offer. I have the Heli carb and plane carb and a glow plug adapter too. it is a side carb and side muffler engine, so it wont fit some planes unless you cut up the cowl a lot.. what am I going to do with it ?????

I got a good idea jim you could send those pink face dial calipers to OKC they'd look pretty next to the plane you reckon? that reminds me okey has said in many previous posts that he'll take any smelly two strokes for free! if you pay the postage, he may be running something like an old ex racehorse knackery yard or a mangy dog pound for two strokes where everything gets recycled. I think he's said here before he's pretty green.

Typical with plastic arm.
Also, do the LS adjustments with the HS needle at full peak, the HS needle seat is fixed, (doesn't move), so that eliminates one variable. When satisfied with the idle and transition, adjust HS needle for you favorite amount of richness.

No biggy, we both get what we're after. I use a different way, I set the engine 100 rpm rich with the tank at 50%, to me 300 rpm rich is too rich. The four stroke will always have oil in the crankcase no matter how lean it is set. But I only use 18% lube. At 12% there might be danger from a lean mixture.
Thanks Dave, just making sure I wasn't missing something.
I have found that the hsn can effect idle minutely if moved too far from optimal flying mixture. Fine tuning of the hsn has to be done while flying at the field of course and for the most part the lsn has to be readjusted thereafter. It all comes out of the wash once you get them off the bench and in the air.

Except when using a regulator, you can set the tank on the floor while setting up the carb and nothing will change when the engine is installed in the plane.

Now I have a funny story. For the last week I have been trying to find a piece of red/white Checkerboard covering I had secured from one of my friends for the the tail of the the Pink' N Poke.I knew I had put it someplace safe and easy to find but handy for when I was ready to use it but no dice. The covering had been carried away by evil Ogawa Seiki spirits or been sucked into a spontaneous forming black hole. I was looking into to ordering a roll of covering film (the vendor didn't have the right size squares) when I decided to straighten up the build closet and hopefully find the missing covering. Well long story short I happen to pick up a rolled up piece of paper which I thought was a cut piece from a plan when it unrolled. ***! The paper was the backing of the red/white Checkerboard Ultracote. (Insert banging head into brick wall emote here) I can't use it yet I still have some work to do on Pinky and the Monokote has to go on first. It seems from pass experience you can put Ultracote/Oracote/Sig Koverall over Monokote successfully but not the reverse is bad juju. I have since rolled the covering with the checkerboard facing out.
Lost & Found:
I always found lost items in exactly the same place ; The last place I looked.

Hmm Mitutoyo sounds like a Japanese brand, but made in Brazil..... This place needs more moji.
Whats that place to get bearings from again? I think I should order a set for that .72 that is howling. They feel smooth, but howl when running.

you don’t like your new tapered pick

It's very simple, when you use a Cline or IronBay regulator, the mixture will not change when you install the engine in a plane, in fact almost nothing will caused it to change. That's why I like them. I've experimented and placed a tank 30" away and 6" low and the engine does not notice.
I can boil it down to, the engine always thinks the tank is only .75" away.
