I dont get it my savy was running fine then all of a sudden it wont idle. I was messing with the tuning a little cause i changed elevations and it was running ritch but now if I start it and take off and keep on the gas its fine but right when i let off it dies...
 
check ur low speed needle and play around with that 4 a while and u should also check ur throttle trim on ur radio and u want that to be in the middle.. good luck with it
 
Ya I think I got it going ok now. Just have to keep messing with it. It seems like I will get it good then a couple tanks later it will mess up again.

I can go outside and run a perfect tank and by the time I fuel back up and get ready to run, it's time to re-tune again. But there are days that I can tune once and be able to run all day long with no problems. That's the nature of the Nitro beast. Subtle changes in weather can make huge changes in your tuning.
 
I just left home where the humidity was 60-70 percent and went north to an area where the humidity is 30-40 percent. I had to lean the HSN a full turn. Ambient air temperature is the same at around 95-100 deg, but the humidity is what got me. Humid = Lean, Dry = Rich. And remember that things like humidity can change drastically from morning to evening.

Stick with it, you will get better the more you do it. To me tinkering is 90% of the fun. :yes:

That's the truth for sure! I hate it when I can get up and do a morning run with no problems at all, then Go back outside after lunch and have to spend 2 and sometime 3 tanks of time re-tuning just because it got humid out. I almost got to the point now that if it's over 65% humidity, I dont attempt to run because that little AE .15 just hates it.
