Alex, 2.5 turns from closed on the bottom needle and 4 turns on the top will get it to base.
run the nova 2630 i have a used one for sale with manifold that you can buy ?

noobieeee question....what should i be cautioned about when tuning a novarossi engine (353 '09) when deciding to change from an O.S engine (spec II) ?

thanks in advance.

I feel like such a noob asking this, but I want to make sure I get the right stuff for my new 353, so I don't buy useless crap.

Fuel:
Looking at Byron's 20% race, or Maxy's 20% race. Which one would be more recommended? I really want Tornado 16%, but I can't seem to find it in the US. Anyone know where I can get that?

Glow plugs:
What will I need? Cold, Medium, Hot?

Thanks

i always use the cold plug with excelent results novarossi 7TGF

Been running Maxy's fuel for 3 years now and have not had a single engine problem and my internals look new.. I am currently running %16 and believe me it makes tons of power. You will not be disappointed if you choose Maxy's!!!

I've tried Maxy's, Byrons and Tornado, all 25%, all with good success. Really can't go wrong with either of them. A lot of people I know run a cold plug. The Ninja/GRP #7 is the hot ticket around here.

Need your racer opinions...

I can get a good deal on both engines

1) 359 '08 (non-tuned) new in box for $395

and

2) Flash .21 (non-tuned) new in box for $580

by looking from both engines explosion sheets and just about every part is identical...correct if I am wrong about this.

Which engine would you get and why? I have less than 40 hours to make my decision.

help me thanks!

Can't go wrong with Maxy fuel.

start quote"359 '08 is a .12 (2.1cc) engine for Touring car

Flash .21 is for an on road 1/8 scale car

this are 2 completely different engines so you must be looking at a wrong exploded parts sheets, the 2 engines couldn't have identical in parts."end quote

Nope. 359 '08 that I am referring to is this:
http://www.novarossi.com/content_uk/.../359race21.htm

The Flash .21 is here:
http://www.novarossi.com/content_uk/...-2/flash21.htm

and I think you are referring to the 353 '08 which is this:
http://www.novarossi.com/content_uk/.../353race12.htm

well, my question is still unanswered

Im keen to know the difference between 359 08 and Flash myself

ditto...I just don't want to pay for 2009's new looks and previous 2008's engineering....that Flash engine is damn expensive...even at $580

The flash is a mix between the 35+21 and 35+21LC
With the 359 they went to a smaller big-end on the conrod/crankpin, and with the flash they went back to the same crankshaft and conrod as in the 35+21...

Check all exploded views yourself, and look at the part numbers to see the difference.
