Sick of my Engine!!

[kalib]

Whats up guys, I don't know if I just got a bad engine or what. I cannot seem to get my engine (lrp 30) to work properly. I tried to follow the flow chart on this site, but once my engine warms up it just stops running and wont restart! I've taken to the LHS and it my run well for a couple of tanks then it just start acting up again. I'm really on the verge of tossing this motor and getting something another one or something else. I've only had this thing for a few months and it maybe has a gallon through it, got new plugs, fully charged igniter, clean air filter etc... still not working right. All the reviews on LRP stuff has been good and I haven't read anything bad on forums about them, so maybe I just got a rare bad one IDK. Anyone have any suggestions, including what other engine to buy??

Scroll down to post #5. You've got a really good engine, so sealing it might be what you need to do next. Keep us posted.

^^^ what he said^^^ could be an air leak. i hope you get it figured out, I'm getting ready to put on on my LST.

I wanna give sealing a shot, but I'm kinda nervous seeing that I have never taken a nitro engine apart before. But I guess I have nothing to lose cause the thing is not working right anyway, so if I mess it up then I will just have to get another one. I was considering replacing this one anyway so I guess I will try. Could there be any other reason causing the engine to behave that like it does?

The LSN is critical for starting. To get that properly adjusted let the engine warm up first. Pull full trigger and see if it quits instantly or kind of blubbers and stalls. You need to lean it slightly till you get a good launch throttling hard from a standstill. When you have that and you have a good idle your high speed runs should be adjusted with the HSN. Let us know if you see any changes.
