Serpent Impulse

I would say a Serpent 705

thanks very much for the replys its been doing my headin lol so its a serpent i can look at both and get the manual on them so onto the engine all i can see on the engine is nava sx12 2.1 and ive been on the website looking for the base settings and im a bit confused on the carb there is the HEN then below that there is a gold screw which i was told is the LEN but on the website it says that the LEN is on the rubber were the rod from the servo connects so what are the 3 screws for and which do i need to set for the base settings so i can run the engine as break just to be safe Thanks again for your replys;)

Serpent Impulse with a few good hop-ups.

The big brass screw opposite the rubber bellows is the spray bar, sometimes called a midrange screw. It is generally best not to adjust it. Just set it flush and leave it alone.

thanks for all your help lads now i can try and get it started and set right it did start then hit real hig rpm and cutout so now i know what all the screws are i can set it to base and start from there thanks again and if i need a little help i will be sure to ask atleast i know whati have now

well got it started 2day ran for about half a tank good stream of smoke not boging or revving to high ran smooth though the speed then it cut out and took 30/40 min to start again then ran for the same amount of time and done the same what do yous think could be the problem

the way i have the screws is
HSN 1mm under flush
LSN 1mm over flush
mid range flush (as advised)

im useing 20% nitro
and a num 8 standard plug

Check the Novarossi website for some advice on factory settings...

They are recommending 5 turns from closed on the high speed needle, and 2.5 turns from closed on the low speed needle as a good starting point. If the engine stops running after a few minutes, it's probably running a bit lean, causing the engine to overheat and shut down.

thanks for the link its going to take some gettin used to this rc and engine tuning lol but im sure it will be worth it
