Engine stalls, why?

[johnnynfl05]

hey guys,
me and my problems again

the engine stalls everytime i take out the plug igniter,
is the glow plug bad???

also i was checking the engine temp, its always at 150degrees,
it was around 70 degrees outside
am i running too rich???

Probably are to rich. You should have the temp at the glow plug being around 210-230 for normal operation. Try leaning it out a little and running it.

the piston's beating the hell out of that sleeve. Get those temps to at least 200. 220 is preferred.

The engine Is stalling because its to rich lean out the Hsn 1/8 of a turn..Run it for 5 miniuts then check the temp. Keep turning the needle in intill you get the running temps up to 230..This will be a good start..

Is the engine new? What kind of engine is it?

Anytime you pull the glow starter off and it stalls, the engine is too rich.
Like Zandor said get your temp up. 150 is way too rich. Have you even got it broke in?
At least read all of this. http://www.rcnitro.com/rn/articles/ht_tunengine_01.asp
I posted the link on another of your posts. Read it and see if that helps. Not trying to be an ass. The article will help a lot.

i broke it in, the manual says to start 3 turns from close and thats the factory settings,
i will try to lean it out, and also when i was trying to run it, it gave me hard time to start, i havent ran it in couple weeks

use after run oil if you are going to let the car sit for more than 2-3 days....that's just a tip not the reason it's stalling.....zandor & digger hit it I think.....

definatley too rich. but may not be the only culprit. If all of your needles are set right and it still wants to stall when you remove the ignitor try using a "hotter" glow plug.
