Someone said to me before if you hold it at a right angle it should stay up and not flop over..mine flops over!! Does this mean after the excessive heat it experienced is the engine ruined or is this kind of compression normal after run in??
Thanks again,
Brian.
is that the 400° ?
i would definitely say you did some serious damage runnin at that temperature
i would chock that up to user error , always error on the rich side if anything
it takes a while to learn about nitro 2 stroke engines and what makes them tick
happy motorin' ,
monty
i would doubt that you would be able to obtain a warranty on that one
