I bought the new engine in the box, what happens and I follow what Novarossi says in the manual.
And I can not get the engine to make a deposit to the idle, so I'll fire the igniter glowplug engine soon.
The only way the engine does not go down and use the embedded glowplug igniter, I already made two deposits so idle, but no solution.
I'm using a hot air gun to warm up the engine and start working at 100 degrees.

Thank You

I suggest puting the needles back to stock and put in a new plug.

Not sure what you mean by made deposits , Should be warmer then 100 degrees too right? We want these over 200 for break in I thought

Still waiting to hear back from Novarossi sent them an email haven’t heard back not sure which needle settings I should use for initial startup. Manual and what actual settings are much different

I believe he's using something to translate, makes it hard to understand. But he's in Europe, so it's Celsius.

They are usually set so you can start them from the factory, then they always needs to be adjusted anyhow, so it's anyone's guess where they'll end up.

I think he is referring to 100 degrees in Celsius.

I just broke in my Rolling this past Sunday. I have the 41021/9901 pipe combo and am using an aluminum 3 shoe clutch with I believe 1mm springs. Started from factory settings and slightly adjusted low speed needle and idle screw to hold idle. I pre heated to about 190* F using a heat gun before starting. Then used heat gun to maintain temp between 180*-200*. Used the method below:

Having trouble with shimming and tightening up my Losi 4 shoe aluminum to this Nova Rolling. I’m using the Losi brass collet took the Nova one off the flywheel wouldn’t slide down far enough to catch clutch but with the Nova. Pulled crankshaft out and slide collet tight tightened clutch/flywheel down with clutch nut. Have one .2mm shim behind main rear bearing them 13T stock Losi clutchbell chbel Keeps it just off the flywheel so she spins free. Next I have the smaller outer bearing and then a variety of combos that won’t work. My problem is when tightening everything up it gets too tight and clutchbell won’t spin freely.

Is my crankshaft too short it doesn’t extend out past the front bearing? Ive tried it with a shin, no shim, the Losi plastic clutch spacer, without. Nothing works

Update, I ended up filing the collet down from 4.8mm depth to 4.4mm and everything worked perfect crankshaft cane out to about flush with bearing didn’t need any outer shims just used the losi clutch spacer and and the end play was perfect. Got the rolling 7 in and started break in using ty Tessmann method. I’m onto the 5th tank hopefully I can get a few more in this weekend. Thanks guys

What were your problems with that carb just keeping a tune? I just got the motor today and checked needle settings they were 4 1/4 on HS, 3 3/4 on LS, 1 3/4 on the middle. The manual says factory settings are 3 1/2 on HS, 5 on the LS and 1.5 on the middle. You think you should break it in with these or Richen it up a bit ? Did an unboxing one handed pretty shaky . Thanks for your help guys.

Also what clutch you guys think I should go with looking at https://www.amainhobbies.com/team-lo...RoCk0gQAvD_BwE

Or https://www.amainhobbies.com/team-lo...lr9102/p211985

5 out is way too much on the bottom! I had to go 3 out. I had a conversation with Novarossi on this.

I just wonder what you just send....
As you may know this is a forum where questions, answers and discussions are done in the open so everyone can enjoy the reading and step in.
If it was something personal or something commercial you do not want to show us, just do not make such posts so we (for sure I) do not get curious to know what you just have send. And to be honest, the receiver will know you did send him a PM by a notification on top of the page and if the settings are right, by email.....

Front bearing seal let go after one run on the track motor has just over a gallon of 30/10 bones. Wondering if any internal damage was a sandy track should be pulled apart and replaced I’m guessing?
