Anyone have trouble with the AE 0.15 Engine. I broke mine in all fine and dandy and got through about 1/2 gallon of Trinity 20% race fuel and now the car runs like crap (i.e. now there is a delay in pick up when I hit the throttle). So it will idle fine then I hit full throttle and the car takes a second to start pulling hard. The temp is in the 250-280 range after running around the race track under fairly normal race conditions. Any help on what to do would be greatly appreciated. Also the Associated starter box is a pain in the butt to start the car with because the flywheel hole on the bottom is so small. TIA
 
It sounds to me like a classic case of needing to tune the LSN.
It is either to rich and is flooding a bit until you get to a higher rpm or its to lean and is being starved for fuel until the carb opens up enough for the HSN to take over.

There are several great threads on this forum on how to tune the LSN.
