Whats the best way to tune a nitro engine?......tune low speed first, or hi speed needle first? I'm just trying to get this right.
retune your engine........this might can help......set your high and low speed needler to 3 turn out from close. Warm up the engine by running around half of the tank.Drive in n fill up the tank...........then start tune your high speed needler with WTO n makesure got smoke out from the pipe till you feel it top speed n everytime you lean the high speed needler make sure check the temp too. Later on set the low speed needler..........let the car fully stop and wait for 5 second n WTO see the accerelation......lean it till you feel it accerelate fast n no bogging too...........then rich up 1/8. Then idle needler
Guys, correct me if I am wrong...........
