Hi. I like to know how to tune the idle or low speed needle so the engine won't run constantly on idle. I hear that if you let a nitro engine set and let it run on idle for a long time, that is not a good thing. I hear that it should be set up where the engine should take on idling without moving the car 30 seconds to a minute before the engine loads up with fuel and eventually sort of quit.
Every time I try to tune my engine like this, number one the engine was still run constantly unless I add throttle after letting the engine set for like a minute or two. Scenario number two I tried to get the engine where I lower the idle the try not to get the engine to run constantly and only let it run on idle for about 30 seconds before it loads, but I could never get my engine or engines to run that way it'll just quit very rich before you have a chance to even run the car or more likely you'll have problems starting it. Which I thought the idea of a steady idle so that the engine can start as well as run reliable.
Scenario number 3 I begin to wonder at a steady idling I wonder what it work in a way that even if the engine still runs the way you tell if it loads up by looking at temperature gun and seeing the temperature going down. I tried that method and let's just say I'm confused and don't know what I'm doing.
I'll either have it running too rich where it won't start at all, then i would have to set back the idle screw open to get the engine to start. cohesively.
So here's my question when a engine loads up with fuel, 1 is it supposed to cool down the engine? 2 is it supposed to quit after the engine cools? Most of the time I find that the engine only quits if you let it run constantly to the point where it does cool down a little bit and then apply throttle and it just shuts off immediately. According to people it's supposed to shut off by itself, But for my experience it only can shut off just by pulling the throttle after over a minute of letting the engine idle on the ground with the car not moving.
