sorry being a little bit lazy and didnt check.... it has a little less than a gallon, the only thing that I'm missing is more top end, maybe it's just cause it doesn't "scream" like my Vspec, so it makes me feel missing the top end, should I lean the top a little more??

no

not unless you really feel you need it ...you are right on point it wont tune sound or looko like a v-spec .it should come out of a corner and have a slight hesitation mid to top and then should spool up smoothly without sounding like its winding out and they dont scream noise wise on the top .that is why people smoked these engines early on because they thought everything should run and sound like a v-spec ...not saying you will never tune the hsn ...but not anywhere near what you would think ....in 5 gallons excluding break in ...i have tuned the hsn 4 times

Hey grp fans im running a .28 tuned in my truggy and ive noticed now after running my truck the motor gets a large build up of oils and dirt around the glow plug ive checked the glow plug to make shure its tight and that the cooling head was all the way tight but it just seems to be leaking. It runs great holds a tune great. i almost have two gallons on it and it usually stays at 210-230 depending on the weather, any ideas?

i have seen o.s. and odonells plugs leak around that area ...there was aproblem early on with swapping glowplugs manufacturers and plugs not sealing up in there ....it is possible it is leaking ...you should be able to see it while its running puddling up around the glow plug ....other than that not really sure other than it does get mucked up in there from time to time?

Do the carb restrictors affect the low end or high end more? I have been using the 6mm and have plenty of bottom end but would welcome more top end (although it is pretty good too).

Bigger restrictors give more top. If mileage is ok you can go up to a 7 and should see some more top end.

well its offical, I cant get my tuned to run right for anything. I tried the drakes settings, didnt work very well. I just want it to idle smoothly and be reliable and not flame all the time
