I got 10 tanks thru on new .16 Cen mill. On the last tank just before shutting er down, At an idle, holding it off the ground it was running like it was in gear. Now would this be a idle speed setting or LSM. And by the way, after 10 tanks glow plug I started with is clean(tip) as like new, no discolor, Is this standard. And it's running real good temps around 200-220 but not alot of blue smoke. Is this about right. I know you need smoke, but is it suppose to be alot.
 
Be the idle speed setting. Should tell ya in the manual. Take the air cleaner off and look down the carb.
Not idleing down more when ya hit the brakes right? If it does need to adjust the servo too.
 
Yea, it idles down when I hit the brakes, but when I release the brakes it start's to idle back up a bit. If it's the servo, where and what do you adjust?
 
Take the arm off the servo and turn it one spline towards the brake.

You don't want the servo to hum at either end of the travel either. Puts unnecessary strain on the servo and runs the battery down faster.
 
no what he needs to do is trun down the trim on his radio

or tighten up the idle screw
