new plug. now I'm stalling out

[CharliesTheMan]

you could do a search for your car and Roto-Start options. That's outta my league, but I think the search would help you get started and some veterans can also help out.

The tiger drive from sullivan should fit. (measure the starter shaft that goes in the pullstarter to figure out whether it is 8 or 6mm, I'm pretty sure it is 6)

an 1/8 of a turn would be like 3 hours right? i started that flow chart i just want to make sure that i dont go to far

 

[Cupooterluvr]

1/8 turn is half of 1/4 turn.

1/8 is about 1.5/12 so yes it's about the same. Just slightly larger.

 

[Mattyfats420]

ok i got it now. i was getting 1/4 and 1/8 mixed up. thanks alot cupooterluvr. and thanks again for that plug. couldnt have been doing anything with ya!. ill let you know how i make out

 

[Cupooterluvr]

Heh. Lucky you, at least you can run yours My TRX 3.3 is having a hissy fit whenever I run it. Can't even get the damned thing started. Traxxas will be hearing about it.

 

[2000delux]

Have YOU followed the tuning chart Cupooter :spit:
j/k man whats happening with the traxxas

 

[nitrogator]

well have you got it running?

 

[Mattyfats420]

i started it and still couldnt get it running. but i only went about a half turn so far. i had some stuff to do tonight. ill let you guys know if i fixed it tomorrow

 

[Mattyfats420]

my glow plug is all wet inside. is this because my LSN or HSN is to rich?

 

[nitrogator]

i am not sure but i would think your hi speed but wait till one of the masters of nitro tells you for sure

 

[Mattyfats420]

ok thanks gator. I'm just scared ill ruin another glow plug and i dont have the funds right now to go get another for a little bit. i doubt the glow plug being all wet is good for it.

 

[nitrogator]

wait for someone with more experience to help you like i said i am not sure you need rolex to help

 

[Mattyfats420]

yeah i could use a break I've been tuning this thing for about 2 hours now and still can't get it right. but its definetly getting better. thank god for that flow chart! =]

 

[Cupooterluvr]

A wet glow plug indicates that it is running real rich. Usually on the HSN but it could be the LSN too. But once again you need to get the HSN set before you can set the LSN. Good luck!





Of course now that I sent you my last spare mine burns up... -_______-

 

[Mattyfats420]

i was doing it the other way around cuz thats what that flow chart was telling me.. I'm wondering if i have to start over now. ahh back to tuning. ill let you guys know how it turns out

 

[nitrogator]

my losi book said to start with the low speed as well but never could get it set so i joined rcnitrotalk and now it runs great rolex helped me alot as well as the other guys
