killing the engine

[mach1basher]

Ok I get my rc tuned perfect ad I got to pinch the fuel lines and it doesn't die even after like forty seconds can anyone tell me whats wrong?:ball:

Sure you're pinching the fuel line?
And are you pinching it hard enough?
Cuz it should die in about 5 seconds if you're pinching the right one.

You also need to be pinching the line as close to the carb as possible. If you have 12" of line and are pinching it near the tank, it will take awhile before it dies.

Easiest way to kill an engine is to stop the flywheel.

I am pinching it as hard as I can and I'm like i' away from the carb.

Does it idle up alot before it dies? Sound like its possibly a little rich acually. I dont think you are pinching it hard enough...Make sure you are also squeezing the one coming from your fuel tank to the carburator....not from the top of the tank to your exaust pipe.

Is the pinch ok?
Or are you using your fingers?
Pinching the wrong model?
last resource: cut the fuel line just before it enters the carb, if it keeps running, have it patented!

If your are pinching it and it is still running after about 5 seconds... you are either running it real rich.... or you have an air leak or somthing of that nature? Does the model idle ok? Did you check to see if the carb is closing the way it should when you release the throttle? Just a few ideas that come to mind, but if you are cutting its fuel source... it shouldn't run.

It can't be too rich its running 250F. And the wierd thing is when it is flipped over it won't want to idel. I don't know if i'm going to keep this engine for much longer. I'm thinking about upgrading to a picco .26.:flamer:
