First run after ring replacement. On this run I experiment with a Fox Miracle plug just for the heck of it and it did not perform well. I then switched to an OS #8 plug and things improved dramatically. I used and APC 11x7 prop, the two plugs mentioned , and 5-6% nitro fuel.

Please read the video description and watch the ENTIRE video before offering any comments. There is a progression of things that occur in it. You might notice that never once in this video did I ask for opinions or suggestions.

You are not a used car salesman or a politician but really good at glow engine videos , which I really enjoy and have learned a great deal ! Keep up the good work!!!

@mauserwinchester

Never change the way you do things David, its a great channel, and I learn something new with every video, its nice to have your library of previous videos to refer to aswell, keep up the brilliant work, and keep well.

Hi David, you put out some great video’s, always watch them right through. These Webra engines were over engineered to the point they run for years but their carbs were never any good. Over here in the UK most people changed them for OS carbs or anything that allowed them to run.

Great engine and nice setup. The engine runs very good after replacing the ring. Finding the perfect adjustment is the challenge we have to face. I have got some Webra engines of different sizes, some made in Germany and others made in Austria and most of them are running really smooth but need a good prime at the start, especially the "bigger" ones (61, 91...). Thanks a lot for sharing this very interesting run.

I've been watching your videos for years and learned a lot. Please keep the videos going.

@halflife82

I’ve got 2 Webra Speed 61’s, and 3x Webra Speed 45’s that I’ve restored. Amazing little engines!

@SomeGuyInSandy

It seems to be a nice running engine. The pipe sounds like a good match. Thanks!

I say hi from Sweden, great video, I learned great stuff from you m8, always nice to see your video, keep up the great work 👍 😀 and take care.

H.S. needle looks correct. I have the same engine but the stub at the outer end of the H.S. has a tightly wound spring with a knurled knob attached for adjusting. Thanks for making these videos! I've gained a lot of knowledge from your channel.

@PierreMilcent

Thanks for your contribution.

Legendary engines...

@Irvine7214x6apc

David, the carb needles may have some O-rings in them; given the age of the engine they may be well past their best. If you care, and if you can spare the time, try replacing those

@weofnjieofing

This engine takes a long reach plug so the transition issues may be caused by the shorter OS no8 plug , which can flame out on transition. I’d suggest either an Enya no.3 or OS LC3 plug.

I have a couple of Speed 61's, none of them have a high speed needle like that so you might be right about the needle. But all of mine were bought off the internet, so who knows whether I have factory original carbs. I have a few with the dynamix carbs which run really well, and another with a very long and flexible HS needle and that one works good. One came with a perry carb, that would never lean out enough to get max rpm, as an experiment I bought a brand new Perry carb, same result. Webra's are one of my favorite engines in that size.

@clforever1

David,you're missing the spring part of the high speed needle-that's normally placed over the pointed end of the H.S. needle ,look it up,there's pictures and videoclips all over the internet of that engine-also,there's two carbs for that engine,one is the flatslide DYNAMIX carb, the other is the normal drum-style valve carb like your engine has.
