| I have a OS 32F-HX engine that Is 3-4 years old, but only has a few tanks of fuel run through it. I wrecked my helicopter and then gave up on it.
I decided to get back into helicopters now!
I poured rubbing alcohol through the engine to clean it out ,and reinstalled it.
It was hard to start,but i got it running and adjusted the carb(about 2 turns open)it runs good, mabey a little rich.
the problem is after a min or two it will just quit! even it half throttle!
I can then start it on the first pull, and it will idle good too.
It has a 3H carb and I'm running wildcat 15%premium extra that works great in my 40 OS, in my plane.
Thanks for any help!

"cook" the engine in full strength anti-freeze. Disassemble the engine as far as you can, cook the parts overnite in a crock pot. **NOTE** Only do this in a well ventelated area and NEVER use the container for anything else as it will be contaminated! You will be surprised how clean the engine will come out. I have left parts cooking for up to a week and no harm can be done to them, sometimes you may have to use a toothbrush to get at stubourn stains. Also do as alan says, while you have the berings out make sure they are in good shape.---------Barry.
