Tuning help (I'm stuck)

[SilentGTboy]

Hmm. My B01 has tons of bottum end smoke no matter what I do to the LSN and then as full speed it is pre present but not as much. Is the low speed needle that affects low end smoke? I get to tuning the car and I set everything rich. I fire up the car and after a minute of running it'll die. I prime it and fire it up and accelerate to WOT the I slow down to turn around and it'll die. So I walk over there, prime it and fire it up. I accelerate to WOT and slow down to turn and it'll die. Then I walk back to where the car is and repeat. After ten miles of walking back and forth I grab the car and take it inside. Whats the problem? :shrug:

Set your lsn a little richer and set your hsn a little leaner. It's normal for a little smoke to be coming out the exhaust.

Go even richer, maybe by a half turn. Clear it out, run it for a few, and if it gets horribly worse, lean it instead.

I had this happening with my O.S. and I was running too lean.

Thanks, once I get a new airfilter foam I'll go and try that out!

Low speed smoke comes out in blankets. I can do I figure 8 and there literally will be an 8 of smoke for 5-10 seconds. I have done everything I can to the LSN to try and lower the low end smoke but nothing is working. I went from 4 turns out to 0 turns out. When I did a checkup on the car I remove the airfilter to see if the needle even moved when I turned it. I get no response. How long does it take for needle setting to take effect? Instant or a couple seconds?

A minute or two of running.

Here's another one that's way from left field but is your filter heavily oiled? If so then that would probably be the cause for all the smoke.

I'm going to go to hobbytown today and pick up some new foams. Mine is junk. (Check my gallery)

New airfilter.

I hate my Storm now. Broke a pullstart and replaced it with my spare. Unflooded the engine then took it outside. The car won't stay "lit" without the GP igniter on but starting it over and over it get really hot. Every time It fired it up I picked it up off the ground and slowly revved it to WOT but it would bog and die at mid-range. It would never go farther nomatter what I did to the POS. Help!

Set your LSN/HSN to stock break in settings and lean out from there. Remember to let it run for a few minutes before you reajust the needles. Set the HSN first and after it is set to the desired response then adjust the lsn until it is set to the desired setting.

Hmm, Anyone know what stock setting are for the B01?

 

[Çh®i§tiªñ]

What is the make and model # ?

 

[SilentGTboy]

Make is, uh. It's the Stock engine from the GS Storm. I think GS Makes it or rebadges it, it says GS on the head.

No clue, you don't have the owner's manual?

I bought the car used. I bought the engine from my friend. I barely got the car. Took a month to convice the guy I'd catch his ass. He still owes me $200.
