An air cooled rc alcohol engine is supposed to sizzle with water contact.
The glowplug needs a new gasket, so that it does not come loose.
The idle setting hardly matters much, since all it has to do is not die out on you until you can give it gas. But you should set idle mixture to the highest speed.
Then lower the speed setting screw, and then reset the idle mixture again to the highest speed.
Hmmm,did you check the thermostat?
