Arrow Racing GTR .21 Engine Thread

But it seemed a bit strange to have such a mess like that.
Anyway I replaced the plug, had a go at tuning, but nothing was working. It was just dead off the bottom and kept flaming out. I knew it wasn't good!
So the following week he came around after work so we could take a closer look. Turns out the bottom of the block had a long crack right down the centre and also around near the back plate. He told me after he had a big crash it just started running really badly. He is still very new to the hobby and is crashing a lot as he learns to drive, so I would say that last crash was the final blow.
I drove his car a few months before and got it to race tune for him. I liked the engine it was nice to drive, very smooth power, just lacking some durability..

Consider the needles positions discussed on this topic, not the positions of the manual.

Almost done with break in on my GTR plus. Thing is a beast. Just want to make sure I got this mid range setting down. If I back it out 2 turns from flush so that its pointed at 2 o'clock, isn't there 50% chance that its actually pointed at 8 o'clock? I may be over thinking this but since the screw head "points in two directions" how do I know its pointed at 2 and not 8?

Top 1.5-2.5 turns out from all the way in
Bottom 1/2-1 turn in from flush
For break in the settings are not important, just set them so it starts and idles good and keep the temps between 200-240'F.
