    nitro engine starts fine but dies after a few seconds of running

    your tips worked and it runs! now the only troubles are it stalls and bogs down when i give it throttle too fast, and when It goes back to idle after high rpm’s it idles extremely high even though the idle gap is good. I can’t figure out what this could mean.

    nitro engine starts fine but dies after a few seconds of running

    Thank you for the advice, I really appreciate it. I have already tried returning it to factory settings and it didn’t run. So I may start by leaning the lsn because you mentioned it being too rich on the bottom end. tomorrow i’ll go try it out and see how it does! once again thank you.

    nitro engine starts fine but dies after a few seconds of running

    A fuel tank or at least my fuel tank completely relies on pressure since there is no fuel pump. if I were to make a vent it wouldn’t receive the pressure it needs to pull fuel through the line. causing it to either run extremely lean or not even run at all. if you don’t have a line coming from...

    nitro engine starts fine but dies after a few seconds of running

    i don’t understand though because both the needles are almost flush with the housing meaning it should run rich but when the needles are lean it also runs pretty hot

    could the engine be running so rich to the point it’s getting hot?

    nitro engine starts fine but dies after a few seconds of running

    I forget to mention yesterday that i tuned it some more and now it stays running and idles great and accelerates fine, my only problem is the engine is running extremely hot. the tuning used to be perfect but ever since i messed with it everything went down the drain. the model is a Team Losi...

    nitro engine starts fine but dies after a few seconds of running

    I have just gotten into the nitro rc hobby and was needing some help on this issue. Every time i start up the engine, it stalls shortly after starting. I constantly have to prime it and sometimes go as far as taking off the filter and putting fuel directly into the carburetor. the longest i’ve...
