I am having no issues with closing the idle gap and leaning the bottom though. Good idle consistent and strong pull and even smoke stream. I looked at a factory novarossi drivers engine and he was about a 1/2 turn in from flush on the low speed. Basically i am just wondering why they say .6 idle gap when it seems that nobody is running that. Just a thought i was pondering in my head.

Just give your engine what it needs to run correctly for your environment. Don't get hung up on a number. It is merely a suggested starting point.

I tried to run the factory settings on my motor and it was to lean on the LSN also the .6 ended up being closer to .5 Like said earlier run it like the enviroment requires

Ok. I am coming from a werks motor. With there motor you set the idle gap then never touch it again. I figured the 214c was the same. I have to say I have a gallon through this motor and love it :-)

Needles
Where are some of your guys needles at on your Plus 4 Teams? Tyler's has about a little over 2 gallons on it now and was just curious to see if I'm close.
Is it true on these if you are on rich side of LSN during pit, it will load up bad? Last time we ran Tyler's, I richened LSN a little before main and it loaded up twice. Flamed once and he got it to come out of it the other time? It is a TLR 8 2.0 buggy too. Gonna lean LSN back to where I had and see what happens. We are new to Nova and loving them so far. TIA!! |

Neal how does that gun compare to others in the market already? Looks very nice.

Yep, Novarossi engines needs close to a lean LSN. If the idle speed drops in RPM after 10-20 sec. of idle, its too rich. Remember very small adjustment on the needles. For finetune its max 1/12 of a turn - otherwise you'll mess up the tune. |

Sounds like you are just slightly rich on the LSN. Lean it out a touch. If it starts to short bog coming off idle, or just not smooth transition from idle to low to mid range then its lust slightly to lean, open the LSN slightly 1/24th to 1/12 of a turn and go from there. You may have to adjust your idle stop screw a hair to to bring the idle back up slightly. at 2 gallons, it also sounds like your motor may have just broke in too. Meaning that both needles might need a sighty leaner adjustment. Its a nice feeling when a Nova drops its nuts. Lean it out slightly and hold on for the ride. |

Is there an advantage in fuel mileage between these two motors.. Nova P5XLT vs. 21-4C Team? If so, what kind of difference?
|
Well I am thinking about getting a new Nova soon my BTTA has about 6 gallons on it but still runs great I just want to have something new to play with that has a little more power. Anyway whats a better choice for someone who has ran several 4 port Novas but looking for more power and top? P5 or Bonito or other? Also I have had more during race flameouts with my BTT (5) than I did with my Nitrotec (2) both at 6 gallons but probably to fat on LSN with BTT. Any advice on new motor? Thanks!

Tuned P5 by who ever u like or a Fusion X3XL or X5. Maybe Benito depending on what it is going in. RB BX-R if you could find one.
