If im running a BTT on 30% should i remove any of the head shims?

Not necessary , but rearranging shims (requires other shims) to achieve .70mm will feel a bit more responsive but I wouldnt suggest doing so til after metal to metal friction is gone

Thanks Monty.
Makes sense :nod:

What do you guys use to pre-heat your engines? I have a heat gun, buy I'm looking for something I can turn on and walk away from for a bit.

Hey Houston, I have a question, I have a bonito with about 1 gallon now and I am using the 6.5 insert so is that a good insert or should I go to a 7 or 7.5 I run this in a truggy, also how would this affect the run times? I am getting about 8min right now

Thanks in advance

I got a +4 BTT.. 3 litres old, It flames every fuel/pit stop sometimes in pit sometimes 1/4 lap out. Can someone tell me why? I checked all lines/tank all are ok. Its flames after refill when tank is close to empty. runs great up to the pit stop.
Any help would be great.. Cheers

what fuel and glowplug do you use ?

I had the exact same issues recently. It turned out being my manifold gasket between the pipe & header. Looking at it from outside it looked fine, but once I separated the pipe & manifold, I could then see the gasket was trash.

It ran OK under throttle because the pressure was still high enough to help push the fuel. The flame outs occurred at idle because there was not enough tank pressure due to the fact it was escaping between the pipe & manifold.

Just something else to check.

what oil % ....your plug may be a touch too cold , which would make the engine more sensitive...

houston 02-20-2012 08:53 PM

Like Neal said that plug is the onroad plug c6tgh is pretty cold compared to c6tgc

Like strangdazd says , check all fuel pressure/delivery components before blaming it on the engine, 99% of the time you will find something wrong

Is it a mugen?

davet323 02-20-2012 09:20 PM

Yes it is a Mugen
