i have a new one in my buggy and so far it has been wicked but i noticed aproblem when breaking it in the glow plug area was filling with nitro so i double checked the plug to make sure it was tight and it was,well last night was the first time i had a chance to race it and it was perfect blowing nice smoke the hottest it got was 224 and it was because it was out of gas the whole rest of the time it was temping between 189 and 215.
i would make 2 laps and then temp it i did this for 5 tanks(i have close to a gallon on the motor now)and everytime i shut it down there was nitro all over the glow plug,i can blow on the head while its running and it makes no change it idles all day long fires right up and runs as long as i want it to.
i guess my question is do other companys plugs fit different?
i had the stock plug it leaked
i had an o'donnell it leaked
i had a novarossi it leaked
then i tried a dynamite and it leaked
im thinking its the head so i took it off and it looks to be seating good but fuel is definitely coming up around the plug.
any suggestions?
thanks steven
Steven, could you please send the engine into Hobby Services they will have to replace the inner head here is the phone number 217-398-8970. It seems to be that the threads on the inner head are not tapped right.
