Okay. Are you home tomorrow. I think I jeed a council call on this one. At about one turn down from flush I start getting the lean stutter sound at full throttle. Temps only showing 215F. So I keep fattening, performance gets better, and temps go well below 200F.

With HSN near flush and LSN out from flush, performance is great with slight smoke and temps 180-190F. It just seems like the BTT's are going to operate at lower temps.

Is your fuel fresh? I've had a similar problem with bad fuel.

As far as I know the fuel is fresh. Recently purchased. No telling if it's been on the shelf for a while.

How did you find out the fuel was the issue? The engines run strong and consistent...just run cool. Weird to me.

Ok guys...

so this is what I'll be doing this week...

1. Boiling 2- 9901 pipes and 2 - 41029 headers in Crock Pot with Anti Freeze for 24 hours.
2. Changing all of the fuel line to a different manufacturer.
3. tear down both Engines.
4. Inspect and change all necessary Gaskets.
5. Start with these needle settings... LSN- 4.5 out, HSL - 1-2 hours above flush.
6. I'm going to film the entire process and post it here.. Hoping to prove the this Site can help out when a RC fanatic is in Dire need. Let me know if there is anything else.

I'm also thinking of picking up the M2C quick change engine mount so I can swith engines and keep the same meshing at all times. Thoughts? Are there other quick change mounts that you would recommend?

Houston... I have previously bought tunes Novas from other sources but your commitment to this site is really making me consider he switch to you. Thanks for all of your help!... Please continue the advice on my Nova!

What fuel do you recommend? I bought 4 Gallons of Works " Clocked" fuel but it seems like the castor oil in it is think when the oil if coming out of the pipe. Likes it's gumming things up... Could this be the cause of my issues?

I know Neil speaks highly of this fuel... and I trust his advice too... but I'm just trying to pin point any possible issue... I also had issues late last year keeping a tune with Byrons Gen 2 30%... with 11% lub.

that castor makes the engine easier to tune as it seals the crankcase better......... IMO it is the best fuel money can buy........

what are your issues ?

okay I just read your issues I am going to say the issue is with your tune and setup and not with the engine..... stalling off a jump is chassis flex, flywheel scrubbing or too low of an idle .........

unless of course you have ingested dirt and knackered up your engine..........

what glowplug are you trying to run ? what diameter of clutch and in what chassis ?

Another note...

When it was temping at 260 this weekend my pit guys richened it up... I bet that was the eventual cause of my flame out... She does like it hot... I'll call her the ... Hot Pink Tamale...

Also... Could it be with 1-3/4 Gallons through her that's she not broken in?

Oh Nice... Neil to the Rescue... I love this!

Mugen MBX6R with New BCE Chasis...
BUKU Clutch...

I'll take down the Engines today and I'll take Macro shots... ( I can take hella detail pictues). This is going to be fun..

Neil... I really appreciate your help... This is not your Engine... It's not Houston's Engine either.

Stay tuned...
