i have a rs4 rtr 3 evo, when it has been run for about five minutes the engine just cuts out, i find it doesn't start straight away afterwards. I've check the glow plug and all the starting equipment(rotary start, glow starter) for power and there is no problem there. could this be a heat problem? i havent got a temp tool so i can't realy check this out. the tuning seems fine the smoke is ok when putting on trotle. or could it be getting more fuel than needed. i got a race coming up with me m8 on sunday and i just need things perfect hehhe to kick his ass. cheers

since it had its new piston liner replaced it has only had about 6 full tanks. thats not including 3-4 i used to run it in. i didnt do the work myself as i took it to a model shop. it hasnt been used for about 1 month after the last tank of fuel, but when i did use it i put new fuel in. the glow plug is glowing fine and the starter has loads of power. i noticed when i took the foam air filter out there was a fair bit of fuel spraying out as i was turning the engine over, i dont no what should be normal as the model shop set it up for me. cheers for the help iam a NOOB at this but ya got to start somewhere.
