sorry bud i dont know if the p5 and the btta have the same needles but the top end should be about 1 turn or there abouts from flush then try the idle gap at .9 mm then lean the bottom till it wont come down from a rev on the box then set idle but car on track were there is a few corners close by and fine tune bottom so it wont lean bog just so you know theses motors shouldnt idle for ages

when tune is close run the car for a good tank but take caution then stop car about 20 sec then try and accelerate away if its clesn the bottom is close then run it on the straights see if it has good smoke ratio try this if i havent confused you

talked to him on the phone today Bjarne let him know what the deal is on the jp-3 and which pipe he should get , all is good

has any one used or tried the ae 2035 on there novas mainly the btta

I need some help. I have a btt with 2.5 gal though it and it still has metal pintch. It's making in very difficult to tune. I'm running 30% powermaster with c6tcg. Has anyone else exsperinced this?

Well took the carb apart to find the bottom o ring on the top end needle is disentagrating. Pieces of black oring are down by fuel inlet probably causing restriction.

Hi, I was wondering about the novarossi ball link connector on the carbs.
I have a 21-4C, and I measured the ball connector with my calipers, and it read out at 3.9mm. The OS ball link measures 3.92mm.

Am I all cross-eyed, or is it fine to use the same plastic connector for both these engines?
(I really don't want it to pop off in the middle of a run.)

Crazy

Hopefully you got it figured out bro

And no that not what i would consider normal

I would say that it shouldnt be an issue and i have never seen it pose an issue and will say that if it feels loose then replace the ball connection

so no one has any advice on using a ae 2035 pipe on a btta engine

Is the novarossi c6gtc plug the same as the Losi nitrotec plug c6tgc? Looks like a main is out of the nova c6tgc and I need some plugs! I ask because Losi lists it as "hot" but I thought the nova was more a medium plug no? Thanks

Whats the best pipe for a P5XL?

Last ditch effort before I bail on Novas...

I bought 2 4 Btts engines and keep flaming on competitive runs. I've tried everything and think I have it nailed and them whammo... flameout on my run.. this usually happens after about 4 mins in. It seems as soon as the temps get to 240+ I get the flameout. I try to do my best to tune it at that temp but it was hard to do this weekend at the Canadian National even. ( was 60-65 deg and damp).
I wasn't the only Nova driver that was having issues. I was offered an RB semi sponsorship but I really want to stick with Nova... Please offer me some help!

RB in made by Nova Rossi. There is a simple solution. What are the details? I live east of Toronto. People have problems with all brands of engines. It's interesting to watch people tune there engines. There are so many possibilities. Fuel tank, lines, air leak, clutch, Tune etc....

How many gallons have you run through it? I'll always double check the plug, CB bearings and make sure the clutch isn't hanging up whenever I start having these issues out of the blue.

I'm sure others can chime in with good tuning advice, but one thing I have found out by plain trial and error is that these engines don't like to run lean on the HSN. Usually flush or a quarter turn in from flush has seemed to work for me on the P5. Could be your lsn is a bit fat as well and it's loading up on you. Is it mainly flaming out at the end of straits?

How about the pipe? I read on the clockwork thread about someone that changed motors, clutches, fuel lines, tanks, etc. Only to find out that at about the 3 min mark, the gumed up oil inside the pipe was heating up and closing down the pressure outlet. not allowing the tank to pressurize and the motor to run lean and flame out. Just a thought.
