    This afternoon I was struggling to bucket start an RJE-18 I acquired and worked on this winter. The motor had no interest even with mixed gas directly into the cylinders. Before supper I read this thread. Afterwards I took the plugs out of my RD-15A that did run in the bucket today. Put them the in RJE-18. Fiddled with the carb needles. Engine soon started and settled into a nice slow smooth idle. You have to love this site…
