Stock is .8 and is fine for 30% fuel. Once broken in and they start to loose a little pop down low I switch to .7 ( around 4 to 5 gallons)

Rcmoe,
look up Jenny's RC on Ebay. I think the screen name is *JRC* They part out Btt's and you could probably get a crank for about half price. I got a block with both front and rear bearings and the red gasket for $54 shipped after I sanpped a screw in the backplate of my old block. At 4.92mm you should start looking for a new crank sooner then later.

I saw that on ebay this morning. So the crank for the btt and the old plus 4 is the same? From the listing thats what it says.

How would you compare it to the novarossi pipes?

Not sure...maybe pull up your parts listing over on the Novarossi site to verify or shoot Monty a PM, he knows what works what doesn't

Hey guys just wondering the best plug to run in a Novarossi S21P5XLT .21 5Port?
Also Wat average run time can I expect out of this engine on a tank, Wat is a good midrange pipe to suit it,and how many litres should I put through for break in before I go to race tune.
Any help and advice would be great thanks

I run the nova 6 plug with an re12. Runtimes right at 10 minutes. I'd wait until close to 1 gallon (4 liters) before getting real aggressive with the tune.

Ok thanks a lot.
That is great run time! Would this pipe/manifold fit the mp9 ok?

Has anyone used the O'Donnell medium plug? The nova #6 is out of stock on amain and a lot more expensive...

Hell yearh! :nod:

OD77T and OD97T are really great when its cold, because they are warmer than Nova #6. They are also great for practise because the engine can idle for month.

has any one had issues lately with nova plugs not lasting

Thanks :) it isn't really cold here in Australia, will actually get be getting warmer soon.
But I'm guessing the medium will be best in O'Donnell?

Yes, i have not used theese many glowplugs in years, combined... The old one in gold would last a gallon, now sometimes it is two tanks and its dead. Mye engines are healthy and so is the fuel. I had a coupple of old ones in gold pack, and they last.
