No I have not sealed it, but the thing is it doesn't act lean. I've seen how a lean engine runs many times, and this is different. It doesn't sound like its starving for fuel then loose power, it gives amazing power then stops instantly, with power right up till the last fire.
 
Well I dropped my savage x engine in the buggy, and it ran fine, so its gotta be something with the engine, but I just don't know what.

I am going to try a few more things. First I am going to try puttin the OS plug back in and see if the same thing happens. I really don't think the glow plug could be causing this but I will give it a try. Also I have the LSN a bit rich, gonna lean that a bit and see if I can get the engine warmer and see if that helps any.

After driving the buggy with the Savage engine it makes me apreciate these Italian .21s even more. Even tho its smaller it has loads more power, mainly in the upper RPM. It sounds as if the nova spins twice as many RPMs.
 
Like it was said before Seal the thing and be done with it..
What would it hurt..
Maybe it not leaning out..Befor it shuts down..Sounds like your getting a high end stall.From a massive rush of air..
(IE)when at high RPM and a build up of heat is causing an air leek..That may not be there when the mill is cool...Just a suggestion
 
Ok can I get the right sealant stuff at a hardware store or is there a specific hobby kind I should get online?

Yeah, just get a tube of Permatex Ultra Copper Sensor Safe ATV Sealant. You can find it at hardware or auto parts stores.
