Yo!

Check out the video - got a question:

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8LvSYDVkYk"]Engine Running Rich Nitro RC - YouTube[/ame]

Engine was running awesome. But not it's not playing when I open the throttle fully:

Delay in acceleration
gurgly noise
Cuts out regular

Is this because the engine is too rich or I've over oiled the air filter so it's not getting aspirated efficiently?

Cheers,
Ben
 
It sounds like your running a bit rich lean it up a bit and see if that helps

Make sure you motor doesn't have an air leak

Air leak sounds bad.. I guess that's most likely around the glow plug, manifold or top button? i.e. go and tighten everything up?
