I was told at that time the engine could be overheated. 1 month+ later ie yeaterday, when i played the car again the engine cuts off upon acceleration. I lean the HSN & low end needle, it doesn't help. What could be wrong? Not been playing for a long time? Time to change the conrod? Change the bearing or something else? Please help me. Thank you.
How old is the motor? It could be tuning only. Check for smoke and make sure you are making a trail of smoke. If it has been overheated, chances are the glow plug might not be good anymore so change to a new one.
