It sounds to me like your carb got really hot in the pre heat process and you are vapor locking. I have had this happen quite a few times when using heat guns to pre heat rather than the comp head heater. If this is what you are seeing you can blow thru the pressure line with the carb at full throttle until the fuel stays at the HSN and no longer jumps back away from the carb.... You should now be able to start it, but with the stock needle settings it may not just idle away on it's own, you may have to adjust some for your location.

If you do use a heat gun or hair dryer try to hold a thin piece of metal between the carb and the head while you pre heat.

Yeah you are right this is exactly what happens when i blow into the line. Ive got a piece that came with the heat gun that will do the job and ill just try to keep the heat away from the carb. And i will prime it just a little by the exhaust. Also is it alrite to adjust the idle screw a bit to get it to idle and if that doesnt get it to idle should i adjust one of the mixture screws.
Thanks guys.

I'm not an expert tuner by any means, but once you get a good idle gap, you should pretty much always adjust the idle screw and low speed needle together to keep it the same.

Once again Chris you where right. as soon as i heated the motor without the carby getting to hot which wasnt as easy as it sounds, it started properly and i managed to get it to idle. I am although a bit worried about after completing the first tank i noticed and oily residue all over the low speed needle is it common for these to possibly leak from new?

Well, I would say clean it off real well and keep an eye on it. When new, there is a lot of oil all over these engines as they use a lot of oil to assemble them and this may just be some of that assembly oil. The RB LSN has two orings on it and I have carbs that are 5 years old that don't leak past those two orings. Is it building up on the carb boot or at the face of the LSN where you stick the screwdriver? If at the face it may just be grease from assembling the LSN into the slide. If you don't have any cleaning putty I would suggest getting some. The cleaner you keep the outside of your engine the better, and that stuff works wonders!!

You will probably get a better answer in the onroad section.

Yes it was only around the needle part so i think it will be alrite and its not doing it now after 6 tanks so it should be alrite.

So, I'm only on the 4th gallon through the WS9 but planning ahead as always...

What's the point of view on a full rebuild of the WS9 versus getting a B11?

Chris Peralta 06-02-2011 07:24 AM

The B11 is going to make more power and get better fuel mileage. The WS7 will probably rev a little higher, but the power it makes at those higher RPM's will still be less than the B11. Since the square stroke WS engines are no longer in production I would say your better off getting a B11 to make sure you can get parts if needed.

First of all I'm sorry for my english mistakes,I'm from Brazil and only have 15,so give me a break.
Anyway,I have D8 with a RB hobby9, I only ran it two gallons.But last week I completely forgot to chek if my airfilter was decently oiled.The result,dirt in my engine and two burned glowplugs.So I got home and opened my engine cleaned everything the best way I could with my byron gen2.I don't have that much experience(neither my father) so I came here to ask what more could I do?And is the 'life' of my engine to compromised?
Final observations:I ran two or three tanks whith it that day.
Any help or coment will be very helpfull.
PS:If is a page talking about this sorry for not finding it,there are a lot of great stuffs in this forum,however is really hard to find.

Ok here is the deal. With odonell 30% (regular) in my ws7 I could get 11:00 easily and that's with a 7.5 insert in my rc8t odo 97t plug. Last night I could barely get 7 min when I ran the new 30% speed blend. It also went from 220 to 244-273 in temps. Is my tune off maybe. I also had to open the idle gap 6 hours.
