Wow, every once in a blue moon I win won! 
Seriously, I learned that lesson with my first engine, the NYC J1d Hudson. I seem to recall that it was finicky, and someone suggested snugging up the tether plug a bit more. That did it, and when I got my PCM Y6b, it was a nightmare. I had used the butt of thick bamboo kabob skewers to press it in well...or so I thought, and of course it would stop dead out of my reach in my 'highland' area way at the back of my yard module. Funny thing, though...if I racked in some throttle, the chuffs would go but the engine stayed put. What the...?!!!
Finally I got thoroughly PO'd and grabbed the long thin needle-nosed pliers. I really drove that thing home, but was amazed to see it move at least another 1/32" until it was flush with the lip around the receiver. Never since have I had a lick of a problem with that wonderful engine.
Well, until I dropped it just before Christmas.
