Hello sir, I am just now getting ready to start running my mantra. My Samurai has just been outstanding. I have about 9 gallons of fuel thru the motor and it is giving no sign of letting go. I am very curious to run the mantra though. I seen one run this past weekend and wow it looks strong.

Hey knowledgeable nova guys. I am breaking in my ultimate m4r and also may try out the nova mantra. Which pipes do u recommend for these 2 motors? After racing for 2 years, i am an open driver and i do travel to tracks such as psycho nitro blast and silverstate. (I love how u barely touch needles from temperature changes on Novas!)

I just went through my nitro buggy cleaning and refreshing it. I have not ran it in about 3 weeks. The engine was broken in on an EBIS and ran great for 2qts. It is an Adam Drake edition novarossi 5port. I was using the hot #5 plug that came with the engine. I replaced the fuel and pressure line and put in the new CTO6 medium plug. I tried to start it and make sure everything is good and the engine will not stay running unless the glow igniter is on. I tried to lean out the engine to see if that was the problem and it is not. Any help with this would be great. I have never had this issue before so not sure where to start. I have tried 2 different #5 plugs and 1 different #6 plug to see if it was the plug also

The engine draws fuel by suction at idle - there’s virtually it any tank pressure at idle.
Going from a hot plug to a medium plug will mean your mixture is too rich. Which needle(s) did you adjust and how much? I suspect you’re still too rich - that’s the only reason why an engine will die when the glow driver is disconnected if the glow plug is known good/new.

I tried new pressure line to be sure and still same issue. I would lean the LSN needle little by little with no change. I then leaned with big turns. I stopped leaning at about 4turns lean from flush. I tried to lean the HSN needle as well just to try. I leaned the HSN about 2 turns in from flush with now change to it staying running. I have not opened this engine at all other than changing the carb insert and loosening the HSN the adjust the fuel nipple to line ope with the way I routed my fuel line.
