I'm in central Jersey & can pick up the Shark helicopter any time when it's convenient for you 

I'd be interested, don't throw them away

still for sale

sold at the r/c heli site

Took off the complete cover with the pull-start [looks very good inside, the housing has 4 bolts, 1 original & 3 aftermarket ones], put a little nitro fuel into the cylinder to loosen up the piston & rings, then put some oil into the jug & carb too [for the bearings], hand turned the flywheel  & everything works, very strong compression, no sign of usage, the exhaust doesn't have any residue, the gearbox/clutch shows no wear, the glow plug is clean [as original], this assembly is for vintage r/c helicopter   

Engine with Octura nitro-carb & gearbox with main-shaft for the Du Bro Hughes-300 or the Shark, this assembly has been in storage & very good condition [maybe not used, was a spare], the top of the piston is clean aluminum color, excellent compression

It's leaking out of the tube itself,

if the saw is turned sideways or nose down the fuel splashes into the tube & leaks on the bottom, no big deal, keep the machine near level

some fuel seeping out of the vent.

it's normal, there is no check valve on the copper tubing, a rubber duckbill can be installed on the bottom

you could also remove the bar & chain so no load on the gearbox, much easier testing the engine  

the tube looks clean if gas comes through & no need to remove the tubing [mine was plugged with oily sawdust & cleaned it with wire pushed through], try to run the engine spraying fuel-mix into the carb, I always do that before getting into the carb 

I have the same Mustang & color, that copper tubing is the vent & goes up to the top of the fuel tank, can be seen next to the fuel cap opening, maybe the needle valve needs to be adjusted or the hole cleaned [built up dust due to long storage], also the idle RPM maybe too low, when starting give it a bit throttle

Engine runs with excellent compression, everything vorks

located in NJ, sent PM 

The engine runs with sprayed fuel-mix into the carb, needs new fuel line & maybe diaphragm too, the generator works  

yeah that's the one, it turned out to be NOS, I took off the gearbox cover & everything is in factory original condition, put a few drops of oil in the cylinder & excellent compression

I missed the other one for parts [my offer wasn't the 1st] that was sold for $35

It's no rush for me to find the magneto coil, I could use something similar but would like the OEM

Which serial numbers had problems & what? 

Model J & missing the complete magneto coil, checked online for similar but nothing yet, may convert it to nitro glow fuel

do you have a link for the alternatives?

Hello all,

I'd like to get some info if & how CDI can be used instead of the spark coil?

looking for part # A-149-3 spark coil assy.
