Have a very odd issue with my old 2006 21-5 plus engine. It cuts out from 75-100% throttle. The truck has a brand new fuel tank, line and old kyosho fuel filter on it. The engine is just past break in on a pinch. I added a new con rod and advantage bearings to the engine. When installing the bearings I removed one of the shields on the bearing for the back facing side. I am running a 086 nova pipe. The low end tuned up with no issues and sits there and idles all day. I even swapped out carbs on the engine with a known good one and still has the same issue. I even went back to stock settings ( 5 out top and 3.5 bottom) still same thing. I also tried leaning in the top but still cuts out on the top, stopped at 6 hours in since it showed no signs of going away. It smokes like crazy and the plug is wet. 30% fuel and old OD99 plug. Any help would be appreciated.

Picked up a CLIO P5 today. LHS was out of pipes and headers. What's a good combo for this engine? Local track is Gulf Coast Raceway in Porter, TX. Indoor, smooth, blue groove. I'm new to 1/8th scale so I don't know if it's tight or not. It only has 1 long straight section right now.

The Bonito runs best with a Short header. Don't ask me why but It's faster bottom to top with it.I run a 41001 on it.

Bought paloma+9901+41020 today. I read a lot of review about bonito has weak bottom. Is it better to run with 41021 long manifold to improve torque. How may gallon needed to fully break in it. Will use byron 25%/9 to break in.

The Bonito has a very strong bottom, thoso who have written that must have been unlucky with their engines. I use 9902-41021 set up and it works perfect, plenty of power and then i mean plenty of power, it outruns my plus 4-BTT in a flash of an eye. It takes nomally 1.5-2 gallons before The Bonito really opens, and believe me when it opens, yes then it's game over for most of the other engines out there, u can drive zik zak between them even if they are on full speed. I use the Bonito 7XLBS not sure about you're model? One more thing Byron fuel is great, but using 9% oil on a engine that says max oil content :10% I drive a hellish wicked new fuel developed by formula1 technicians (Beat That) The Fuels name is Piranah with 12% oil. Believe me, it lets the car run so good...nothing more to say, good luck.
