Well I have my Tmaxx tuned to where it starts very easy, I plug the exhaust crank the easy start till fuel gets to carb then it starts right up. OK now I warm up for a couple of minutes then when I get to running it hard for around 5 minutes and come to a stop it will stall very fast with idle set correct and trim bumped up till it is running even faster than it should.Then after it stalls you can't start the $#@ thing with dynamite. I have tried repriming, glow plug is getting red, glowplug is dry when it first does this and I can not see any smoke trail, highest temp I have got up to is 187, no smoke should be because of running lean, which should have high cylinder head temp. Do I need to richen up lsn and hsn alot or glow plug or throw the thing in the creek..:angry:..any help from you RC Nitro Guru's:first_place: would be a blessing..Thanks, Ben:\
 
will it float again???

Bump ,,,,I am thinking more of throwing it in the creek!!!!!:angry: who wants to come and watch????:D
 
ONLY ONE needle at a time. If you try adjusting both, you'll lose track of where you should be.
Start by richening the HSN and running with a good smoke trail. Run it and let us know how it behaved. Keep us posted with the temps.
 
so you say richen up hsn until i get smoke , i will do this hopefully tomorrow and let you know..I still do not understand why the tempeature didn't go higher??? Thanks you are GRREEAAT... thanks for your time, Ben
 
We can only do one thing at a time, and no smoke is no good. I hope you have an accurate temp gauge.
Once we know how it runs, what the temp is, and how it is to restart, we'll check on the LSN settings.
 
I hope it is accurate, it is a snap-on that I use in the shop for A/C and cylinder misfire checking on full size autos, about $230.00 peice of equipment. But as you say one step at a time.... ...... ......:angry::whhooo::angry::whhooo:
