You could use an old cordles drill motor for power,nothing like a free motor. I used them to power my ORCA and SS MINNOW.

You can choke with your finger,(place finger over carb opening) pull until finger gets wet,remove finger and pull to start.

RE: Easy Vee Trials
[quote]ORIGINAL: stackeddeck Hey guys sorry I opened up a new post but the other one was 8 pages. http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_9055619/tm.htm Today I filled up the tank and tried to start the engine.. I got it started once but the muffler vibrated off and the engine sucked up a ton of air or something because it wouldn't slow down and kept getting faster. I cut it off and haven't gotten it running yet. It really wants to crank up but just won't... the tygon tubing I have is a little to big for the zenoah nipples. I got some other temporary line that works fine.. I was starting it and realized the vent line came off the engine.. Turns out the black nipple for the vent line on the carb broke.. Flex cable still hasn't come in... New verdict: I'll give everything radio and all 700 bucks. Fuel pump included. lol no joke. [/quote] The black fitting on top of the carb IS NOT A VENT, I can send you a replacement part,send me your addy.Larry

She has twin inline 33cc gas engines. And since I work in a machine shop with nice equipment I have been toying around with Supercharging them just for kicks.
