Trx 3.3 in a slayer pro. I bought one that was lightly used however it ran very strong. the odd thing is it would not run with the factory needle settings. I would have to lean the HSN about 1 full turn for.it to even run properly. This always bothered me but, hey it ran great.
After awhile I could tell it.was starting to lose some compression and wasn't delivering enough fuel (no i had no air leaks) so, I bought a new piston and sleeve. I broke it in according to the manual as I have done many times, and as expected it.turned out strong, solved all the issues, I was happy.
I still had to lean it way out from factory to even run right, still plenty of smoke
So, I noticed while slowly tuning I could not hit 2nd gear, regardless of its.tune. the tranny is also brand new installed by me, shifted great before the rebuilt engine.
So after the engine rebuild it did run strong but refused to.shift. I then made a.few more.WO runs then it just died. Upon inspecting I realized the plugs coil had burned completely off and fell into the engine seizing it, piston and sleeve destroyed I'm sure.
Does anyone have an idea to why I have to turn the HSN so much in to even run right? Why my plug.fried so hard as to lose its coil (too lean can cause this I believe). Again it puts out plenty of smoke, is the Carb maybe hosed? I'm an experienced.nitro guy but never seen this issue...
