"Fussy" Pee Wee .020 and the solution
SuperDave Wed May 01, 2013 9:18 am
Yesterday I attempted flying my PeeWee .020/ "Lil Toot" bipe which had sat, unused, for several years. The "PeeWee" flat out REFUSED to "needle" consistantly.
Solution: Removed and disassembled the engine, gave it a good cleaning in Hoppe's #9 Gun Cleaning solvent and installed a overhaul kit (which I had on-hand) from Bernie.
Remember the smallest piece of "crud" can make one of these tiny engines inoperable. It is way TOO early (7 AM - PST) to test the results of my efforts.

No doubt it'll run like a champ.

Cox engines or no different than our aging bodies.
If you don't use them deterioration is to be expected.
