wierd engine occurance

[darkslayor24]

ok, so i bought a new OS max .15 i started breaking it in yesterday i have almost two tanks ran through it, and now all of a sudden its running extremely rich (same settings) the engine locks up within a couple of pulls on the oull starter, even when i dont prims it...and kindof odd, i put my finger over the glow plug hole to give it a little compression, when i turned the engine over and removed my finger there was a whole bunch of smoke that came out...whut could the smoke be from???

It's just time to lean the engine a little. If it sounds and runs rich, guess what? It's rich.
Nitro engines smoke, that is normal.

Yep, it's time to lean it out, but just a little bit, don;t go nuts and lean it too much that the engine won't get enough lubrication.

too rich problems, thats easy just lean it. too lean problems, now thats a whole different world.

well, i mean the car wasn't running...it was just sitting there and i pluged the glowplug whole and smoke came out...i know that I'm running a little rich, its new so i wanted to run it rich for the first few tanks, I'm gonna start leaning it out some tommorow.

Do so gently---just a 1/16 of a turn at a time!

i think 1/16 is a little over board. i do 1/8 then run it up the street and check the preformance.

everything is built with smoke buried deep inside it takes a genius to get it out

The smoke is from:
1. engine is warm and vaporizing the excess fuel
2. Glow plug was warm vaporizing excess fuel
