I assume you must use a starter .

Re: Os max 61 4 stroke.....help!!

well it was 25 years ago I was running my 61 fs, back then os had a little flapper for a choke and saito had a slide plate.. with no choke I found the best way to choke was put your finger over the muffler open the throttle and flip, once fuel runs from the exhaust flip it a couple more time with your finger off then close the throttle add glow ,all it should need is a little bounce backwards against compression ,will start first flip every time if cold . best to let 4 cycles get cold before a restart as a hot start on a 4 cycle is a real hassle .

I've never had the choke plate, Even on the os carb. Only on my gassers.

Bill I would think it's more likely the air bleed hole was plugged. it's just a tiny hole and they would get gummed up from the fuel in short order.

Re: Os max 61 4 stroke.....help!!

A air bleed is just that , it in no way controls fuel . just adds air to the high speed needle setting up to 1/2 throttle . a controlled air leak . the problem is you can remove air but you cant add fuel at idle unless you open the high speed and then the high speed is messed up . funny I still have the os carb if anyone wants it . you could put it on your saito if you want it to run worse LOL . if you find a saito carb make sure you get the choke plate because I seem to remember the os choke not working on the saito carb?? cheers Roger

I miss spoke it did change things a little, in the manual they call for 1-2 turns, I'm use to blade thickness adjustments. So I will keep playing with it. It idled good before sealing the intake tube, so it must just be in the tuning. I hope!!! It's kinda one of those planes that every 3-4 months you think hey I still have that and it needs to be flow. So this could take some time. Thanks guys.
