OK Gentlemen, I have a question that not only applies to GRP engines, but to all of them.
What does it mean, when after a high speed pass you apply brakes, and the engine revs high for a couple of seconds and then idlle drops down drastically to the point that it will die?
I was reading an article by the late Ron Paris, and maybe I misunderstood, but there is states, that when coming off a high speed pass, you should listen to the engine and it should have a slight high rpm before settling and if not to continue to lean the LSN......
Any help much appreciated....

Try raisng the idle or leaning the lsn. When you 1st start it does it idle?

i saw this on neobuggy today,
- GRP stop engine production, focus on tyres?
Got Gossip ?
[email protected]arely 4 days after writing, "I am still runnning GRP engines at this time. we will see what the future brings but as for now still GRP." in our Live Q & A, Mike Truhe has switched to Orion engines for the remainder of the 2009 season. After Adam Drake's departure to Novarossi, it seemed only a matter of time before Truhe would find a new engine supplier. The Losi driver will debut at the Euro warm up in Austria next week.
always sad to see and eng manufacture having a tough time.

Bummer, The GRP's have been great engines for me. I am currently running the .21 &.28. I just installed new TKO ceramics in both engines last week. Maybe A guy should buy an extra p/s & rod before everything is gone.
