I will run a quart through the engine and give it a rest. I go back to start it and the plug will be dead. The coils are severing up inside the plug.

I have been having a hard time keeping this motor from stalling. If I come in for fuel and don't keep it clear than I will flame out as I drive down the ramp. The motor is running strong when it's running, temps are averaging around 215, it's got tons of top end. It's blowing smoke coming out of turns all the way down the straight. The coils look dry with some oily soot around the tip of the plug.

Here is my tuning rational and probably where I am going wrong. I feel like every time I come in for fuel the motor loads up. I have been leaning little by little on the bottom end to slow the fuel going in at idle. Should I be leaning the top? Leaning the top would limit the total amount of fuel going into the engine. The reason why I went for the bottom was because I felt like the top was clearing out well and the running temps were good.

I used all my P5's so a fellow driver was kind enough to loan me a P4. That was the last pint I ran on the motor but it was running real well with the P4, it never flamed out, idled well and flat out ran awesome for a good session of driving with my friends. These ailments I am suffering from are caused by me. I just need a little help from you guys to get me on the road to a solid tune. Maybe keep running the P4 and see what happens?

This motor is very, very fast, I have said this before but I have not seen the top end fully unravel yet. With the 086 pipe I have to drive it aggressively to keep it on the pipe. Nothing crazy, this thing just wants more all the time. The bottom end is a little soft, the mid comes on real strong and smooth and then it just screams out to the top all day. Is this the general consensus with this pipe and motor combo?

Let me know what you guys think about my plug popping and load up/flame out problem. I was running P5's with Byrons 25/11, temping around 215 at the Hobby Hut today.

yes tony is a team driver. that is why he is not posting any of his problems on the forum. i, on the other hand, am not a team driver and am getting frustrated at not having my motor, especially when we were told we would have them over a week ago. and i am not getting them at cost. we have a couple big races coming and i would like to have more than just my back up motor just in case.

anyone have any opinions on this clutch and problems it may cause?

fuddy, sounds like you still need to lean the bottom some. Glow plugs can pop like that if the bottom is too rich, the excess fuel under pressure rips the coil in half. the p4's maybe a tad easier to tune, and if it ran better with a p4 its deff because the bottom is fat. also if you feel your not getting the grunt out of the corners try clutching up a bit cause it should rip on the bottom.

Thanks Joe, I will continue to run my current tune with the P4 I have installed. If it runs reliably than I will leave it otherwise I will work the low speed leaner a little at a time.

As far as clutches go I am running the stock Losi setup that comes with the race roller, it's the four blue aluminum shoes and the springs they have installed, what are they the Green and Black? What springs would you recommend, what do you run Joe? If I can get the punch I get in the middle at the bottom, this thing will feel damn near electric. I am running the Ofna 086 pipe with the [ shaped manifold, would I get more low end from a ( shaped manifold?

I run the Losi clutch. I was running 4 aluminum shoes with 2 silver and 2 gold springs. It hit hard on the bottom but my clutches weren't lasting very long due to how heavy of a spring setup I was using. I just tried 2 aluminum and 2 carbon shoes with 2 gold and 2 green springs. I have to say I didn't notice a difference on the bottom end on my full mod. It still hits hard (I like a lot of bottom end punch) and it seemed like I had more top end speed because my clutch wasen't slipping at the top end due to the lighter springs. If your bottom end is a little "soft", your tune may be off just a tad.

I was at the track tonight and I leaned the low speed a few hours. Temps did not change but the bottom end came was there for sure! Problem, my pipe broke where the pipe hanger goes into the pipe. That whole cylindrical unit that is welded onto the pipe end is broken. I am not too sure how it happened, no bad crashes to speak of, it was an Ofna 086 that I put on brand new with the engine. That's neither here nor there, the problem is I need a pipe for Sunday. I am not sure I will be able to find an 086 in time. The Hut does not have a 086, 9901, or a 2041. How would an RE10 or RE11 work with the Full Mod? I will call some other shops tomorrow but if no other pipe is worth running on the Full Mod than I don't want to run something that won't be good. Any other good options?

My 086 is toast, the end ripped clear off, I can stick my pinky down in it. JB Weld?

Hi,
Hi i am from Israel, and it is mid summer here about 75-85 deg.
I put my new JS fully moded on a new MBX 6, I run it with 086 pipe a P4 plug and 25% nitro fuel as it is the best we have here. I must say the bottom end of this engine is not as explosive as other os or ninja engines on the track. I tunes the highe an low needles and still alittle week on the bottom, not anough power to jump doubles with a short run, other mugens with OS an RED wngine clear it with no problems.
Doyou guys have any tip?
thank you.
