Hey guys. Can we get this back on task and talk about Triton Engines. Sorry I said something but I know both Neal and Lance. If you have questions about your Nitro Shop engine head over to that thread or contact Neal. Thanks everyone.

Start with backing out the idle screw an hour or so.

You do not need the DLC when the enine is made from Picco:-) Yes, it will hold up better, but the high quality Picco crank will lst many many gallons as long as you use good fuel and change your airfilters often.

Default 6mm venturi

I have just purchased a L4 with about a gallon on it for my sons buggy. Looking forward to firing it up. Anyone have an extra 6mm venturi they don't need? Please PM me.. Thanks

Fingers crossed the seller took proper care of it. Buying used engines rarely work out well.

I would stick with the 7mm venturi, going smaller will narrow the tuning window and really wont gain any mileage.

Wow. Just ran my 1st idle tank threw this girl. I don't even want to say how long this thing idled. Just say out of the 8 engines i've broke in this thing idled 3 times as long as anything else i've touched. Hopefully tomorrow will be the end of break in.

I've seen a number of posts talk about 10 minute run times, what carb insert are you running to get that kind of run time? Thanks

Pretty amazing how well they run even on the very first start up!?! Same case here, expected to babysit them on the first idle tank but basically walked away with very little for hiccups.

Most of the guys are running the stock 7mm venturi or the Triton Duo venturi. On the L4/L5 you don't gain much if any mileage going smaller than a 7mm venturi.

I run mine with the 7mm Venturi and a #5 plug most of the time. I use 30% fuel from either bones or byrons and I get consistent 12 minute tanks out of my buggy. In race trim with the race trigger finger I pit at 10 to 10:30 with fuel to spare. There's no magic science behind what you have to do as a user. These engines just perform that well. If it's not getting the mileage then it's more than likely not running at peak performance yet. Lean that puppy!! If there's smoke and good power it's fine! Power will suffer as smoke diminishes when getting too lean and it will begin to sound flat right before you start getting to the danger zone........these things are incredible little mills! Also there is a plethora of knowledge here on this forum and we are all willing to help! Good luck and happy racing!!
