I need help. My motor temps between 270-300 and idles great but it continues to stall. It stalls in the air, on throttle and off. I'm using an OD 97T plug. Do I need to try a colder plug? Any suggestions?

what motor? what car? how long does it idle if you pinch the line?

Reedy .21 motor in a Mugen MBX6... it idles for 3-4 seconds after the line has been pinched..

Keep using that type of plug, try a new one. I've been running my Reedy at max 240 with great performance. Yeah this engine been ran at higher temps but I think 300 for a race tune is a little much. Try richening your top an hour at a time until your at 3 and see how good top end performance you get. Do a few short bursts of throttle and let it idle. See how long it takes for your idle to come down. If it takes a pretty long time i.e. greater than 15 seconds, your probably a little too lean on the bottom. From the idle position grab the gas hard and tell us the reaction of the engine. lots of smoke? bogs?

Also what type of fuel are you using and are the shims in the engine stock?

When you put the green slime on the gastket do you rub it in, or do you just goop in on and squish it between the carb and case?

My first carb I sealed the top and bottom of the spacer with Hylomar and I dont think I helped anything by sealing it. My second engine, I made sure the mating surfaces of the spacer were flat. If you look at them, it appears they are hand finished to remove any high spots. Then I loaded the bolts up with loctite and just tightened the bolts enough so that the carb would not rotate anymore. It has worked great for me so far with 3/4 of a gallon through her.

I'm using Odonnell 30% with the stock shims.

The gasket's hard plastic, so I didn't try working the green slime into the surface at all. Just try to spread a LITTLE slime evenly (it doesn't take much at all to make a seal) and tighten the carb.

Hi guys can anybody tell me how many head shims they are running for 30%

Motor comes shimmed for 30%

Hey i just got myself a reedy 21, but was wondering what pipe i should get, people say the 2035 is suitable for it, if thats the case is there any difference between the Thunder Tiger 2035 and the team associated 2035 pipe ?

nope, same pipe, thats where associated got it from, just ditched the TT markings and put AE markings on it. Pipe is real good with mine on my truggy. People have said that the OS 2060 work really well on it too.

Thanks guys

stock shimming is .020 in. and is fine for 30%

Has anyone tried to run the 121VR with the Losi RE-10? I think im going to pick two of these guys up. The track I run is a short to medium size and from what Ive been hearing this mill is all about that. Anyone know where they stock the parts for it? Ive checked Horizon and them seem to be out of stock on pretty much everything.

Thanks
