Real hard to start if i give throttle when trying to start or if pit guy put finger over pipe to try give more fuel.
I find the only way to get started when warm or hot is to trim throttle 3 or 4 clicks and bump start on box 2 or 3 sec at a time for 10 or more times. But this still takes lots of tries to get it going (if flames out in race it pretty much allover as it take forever too get it going again)
If you know what i mean. (i am fairly new to this rc game)
and i am using rb5 plug as cant get nova plugs from LHS.
So can anyone out there able to help me with this problem
P.S would odonnell 97t be better?
cheers thanks in advance.
Dave
hey Dave get your self some odonnell plugs I am running the 77t in both my
+4 engine and ran the 97t in my previous +4, sounds like you have an air leak is your engine still running very rich even at race temp? give this a try take off your carb put some sealant around the outside of the throat if you have lucky 7 use that if no get locktite gasket sealant its red and not cheap but will seal it up good. you can put some on your backplate if you like. go back to factory settings on your needles and retune from there oh and change your plug to one of the above and you should see some results.
cheers
