I was attacked by the dreaded flameout monster last weekend at Wolcott Raceway's first club race. I flamed out twice in my first qualifier, twice on the second and once on my main. This engine has less than a gallon on it. Some say it likes a rich bottom end with a lean top end tune with a slightly high idle. I'm gonna try that tomorrow. I have the 2053 pipe setup running #5 GRP plugs with 30% Maxy's fuel. Jut when I think I get the right tune it just either runs flat on certain parts of the power band or just flames out. I'm gonna give it one more chance racing at Family Hobbies at Vineland, NJ. If it fails me, I'm going right back to my Novarossi's. It kinda sucks cuz I had high hopes for this engine from watching it perform last season. I even bought a second one as a back up.
i mean never ever heard that before ....if your motor only has a gallon on it and still has good compression ...i would look elsewhere for the problem ....airleaks,glow plugs ,exhaust leaks , gas tank leaks, fuel filter leaks ...im just sayin ..the motors are good ...you may have other issues ....if you cant get it right and go back to nova rossis ...pm me i will buy your grp's ....
....the grp tuned is the best tuning and just best motor ive run ....
