got a used sportwerks chaos buggy.. when i get it to run i have a blast

now for the questions

i have a real hard time getting it started and making it idle.. i can get it to idle but if u hit the high speed it bogs out.. so i readjust the idle.. now it wont idle and i consistantly have to give it throttle to keep it alive.. another problem is.. if i can get it to idle and work with high speed the idle gets slower and slower after a pass on FT and get slower and slower unless i keep in throttle.. do i just need to keep tuning?

when "you hit high speed", does that mean you're going fast or adjusting the high speed needle? you probobly just need to richen up the high speed needle if you're going fast and it bogs out

Are you checking the temp?

 

[swarmjt]

checking temps and FT is what i mean by high speed.. it wont idle when i have the high speed set right..

The HSN effect the WOT and overall fuel flow. The LSN is what effects your idle and take off.

yea.. i know most of that stuff but all the trial and error isnt really helping.. i have a bnib one coming (i accidently got 2) one was a trade (this one) and i bought the new one for $25 (you read that right)

that chart doesn't really lead you down the trial and error path if you follow it......
bring everything back factory settings and start over.....when they don't react the way you want and your tuning seems to make it more fickle, always go back to stock settings.....when it does Idle, is it a consistant sound or is the engine sound like it's revving a little bit?

well i can get it to idle but i think the gearing is stripped.. ill look at it next
