Top Tip Number 3

It will not idle !

You can get the idle problem solved simply. Put a one way in line choke valve (a couple of £ in any hobby shop) between the silencer and the tank. That way, when the engine is at full throttle and there is good back pressure in the silencer, that pressure is also in the tank. When you idle, the choke prevents the air from the tank to go back to the silencer, therefore maintaining the same high pressure in the tank as before. This WILL solve any fuel draw problems at idle.
