I didn't have any Rossi pipes to put on it so that could have been a part of the issue. Ran a Dynamite 053 and 086 on it and just didn't seem right. Any thoughts? It's just been sitting in the box as a back up because I haven't got it to run right. Like the motor, just be nice to have it be reliable and get some better run time.
some engines just run hot but 300° is a lil above what they usually run , novarossi engines are usually at a great mixture when they are 235-270°
dynamite pipes are good but they are much better pipes , they just cost a few more bucks
at 300° runtime should be about 15min. though
i will take a look at it if you would like
yes tristyn it should be pretty well balanced where the carb is at , fire it up and check it out
