Overheated 3.3

[xXChevyXx]

After running my revo 3.3 in cold weather, I stopped it becasue it wasn't running right. then it quit and the motor was smoking. I'm not gonna say exact temps but it was HOT. What should I do to the motor after something like this happens, just take it apart and clean and hope it's still ok?

let it completely cool off. then next time u run it, rich it out a little bit. or quite a bit.

before you let it cool down , make sure your piston is at the bottom ...I've had a 3.3 go over 400° once or twice ..lol...that engine is still going pretty strong

Yeah it was close to 400 when I stopped it, it is currently apart and getting cleaned and resealed. I'm glad to hear that it's still going good after overheating it

Why so rich in cold?
Don't u run lean in the cold weather due to temp and cold air has more oxygen??

More oxygen=more fuel. You may have to wrap the cooling head so the engine doesn't overcool.
