Hi,
I have an OPS 90 in a deep V that seems unusually hard to turn over with an electric starter. I have several other boats and planes but they are all .40 or smaller and run great Is the OPS 90 really that hard to turn over? I need to loosen the glow plug to get the engine to turn over and start. I then tighten the plug back down when its running. Is this ok? I'm not sure how old the engine is but it does have the silver head. What should the needle valve be set to because it seems to flood at anything more than half a turn out. Is this normal for this engine because it seems rediculous to me. Could it be that the gas tanks are to high or maybe the needlvalve is broken. The needle did look normal when i removed it. The engine will stop once past about a quarter throttle. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
