RC Newbie
Hey guys I'm a bit new to RC but I've been around carburetors before so I've got some background. I broke in my engine, then started to tune. I reached a point where everything was good and then the next start up I started having issues. First gear it accelerates fine, blue smoke, then when it shifts to second gear it starts stuttering. If I hold it WOT it'll stutter all the way to top speed, but the front end of the car is bouncing up and down because of the stuttering.
I suspected that maybe my LSN was too lean and it needed more fuel when I was WOT. Did the pinch test again, engine shuts after 4-6 seconds. That seems ok.
I checked my idle gap and it was a little small so I opened it to about 1mm, issue still persists.
When tuning my HSN, I keep richening it but now it's getting to the point where power just drops off and I have to lean in again to get it going.
Could it be my transmission? Any suggestions?
