If you know Novarossi help me out
I bought a new Novarossi a few months ago and I'm just now putting it in my buggy, the issue is I can't gut a clear idea of which engine it is... I know I could look one the box but alas right now I'm about 1000 miles from home and that's where the box is.
The engine I have is a Plus 21-4 that much I know... The issue I have is mine has a big T next to the plus sign... This would make me think it's a Plus 21-4T however under where it says NOVAROSSI it says TUNED (not FACTORY TUNED, just TUNED)... So is it a Plus 4 buggy, a Plus 21-4T (these are the only two options I found on Nova's website.... Or could this simply be an older model or a custom job?
Help me out please,
Shane

not a team

So are all plus 21-4t's tuned? I was just confused because in all my searching on the net I couldn't find another picture of one with TUNED on the head like mine... Just wondering.
Thanks,

Now that we know what it is... what's the best way to break it it? I have already run two tanks through it at idle. Before starting I heated the engine up to ~200F with my heat gun. The issue I had was that I could not keep the heat in it and the stock plug simply would not idle at all, so I had to swap it out for a P3 and then it idled but only just.
Any help, again, would be appreciated.

I think I'm going to get a Competition Heat as well.

also you need to be careful with the head button now. OS and Nova have a different taper plug and with you putting an os plug they button may not seal just right now

When I get home from traveling (be home on Saturday) I'm going to run a few more tanks through it... Hopefully my Competition Heat will be there by then...
