Just give your engine what it needs to run correctly in 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 :-)

once you get it set you won't have to touch it to much other then to fine tune for weather conditions but it only takes a slight adjustment with a nova carb. Once I was close on my LSN it only takes less then an hour either direction to adjust it and then if needed I will adjust idle stop but not very often.

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.

Hi.
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.

it feels excellent !!! definitely better then any other fuel gun I have seen yet..... the trigger/plunger seals very well and has a strong spring behind it, so the open/close is very positive.... the fit and finish is very good, its definitely built with a higher standard then the others we have...

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.

I am putting it in my Losi 8b 2.0 and I really like Novarossi and have done well with them but just want to try something different than 3 or 4 port motor. I know this Nova thread but what about new Orion 5p TE (Dakota Phend)any feedback on it yet? My friend just got a modded P5 with 17011 put in front but I am waiting until he breaks it in and lets me run it on track and if I like it will more than likely get a P5 but need some prices on the motor with mod and 17011 bearing put in front from a couple motor guys before I decide. My buddies P5 was like $350 from Clockwork. Thanks for any feedback/advice!
