just to make it more clear. the straight was 2seconds on WOT and after 1s it started to stall.

jbright is right, HS needle too rich. these engines tune backwards from most.
set the bottom and forget it. tune with the top.

found the same thing yesterday with a buddies full mod. kept flamin' after it started, notice raw fuel spitting out the stinger. started leaning it got better and better. then sat there and idle for like ever. threw it down busted the throttle went like a banshy. no more probs the rest of the 98 degree 55% humidity brutal day. very nice engine. mine will be on order soon as i can dump these speeds.

Yep, the motor has tons of power. Mine is just now starting to free up some too. Once it does, look out.
BTW Matt, when you made a couple laps yesterday the steering servo horn was stripped. That is why it wouldn't hardly turn.

Al...dont worry Ed has had my engine for over a MONTH!!! and Joe has yet to return my p.m I have sent asking about the engine last week....

I have almost a gallon through my full mod. The Hut was canceled today so me and my buddies just burned nitro on the track all day. I am going through P5's like it's going out of style. I will run a quart through the engine and give it a rest. I go back to start it and the plug will be dead. The coils are severing up inside the plug.

I have been having a hard time keeping this motor from stalling. If I come in for fuel and don't keep it clear than I will flame out as I drive down the ramp. The motor is running strong when it's running, temps are averaging around 215, it's got tons of top end. It's blowing smoke coming out of turns all the way down the straight. The coils look dry with some oily soot around the tip of the plug.

Here is my tuning rational and probably where I am going wrong. I feel like every time I come in for fuel the motor loads up. I have been leaning little by little on the bottom end to slow the fuel going in at idle. Should I be leaning the top? Leaning the top would limit the total amount of fuel going into the engine. The reason why I went for the bottom was because I felt like the top was clearing out well and the running temps were good.

I used all my P5's so a fellow driver was kind enough to loan me a P4. That was the last pint I ran on the motor but it was running real well with the P4, it never flamed out, idled well and flat out ran awesome for a good session of driving with my friends. These ailments I am suffering from are caused by me. I just need a little help from you guys to get me on the road to a solid tune. Maybe keep running the P4 and see what happens?

This motor is very, very fast, I have said this before but I have not seen the top end fully unravel yet. With the 086 pipe I have to drive it aggressively to keep it on the pipe. Nothing crazy, this thing just wants more all the time. The bottom end is a little soft, the mid comes on real strong and smooth and then it just screams out to the top all day. Is this the general consensus with this pipe and motor combo?

Let me know what you guys think about my plug popping and load up/flame out problem. I was running P5's with Byrons 25/11, temping around 215 at the Hobby Hut today.

Arent you a team driver? That isnt very good team support! hmmmm

really Tony??!?! when nitroal is one of YOUR guys and he is complaining as u r the one that does his tuning and sold him the engines at YOUR team driver cost.......I like the EB Mods fuel I could not get the engine to work right maybe not a cold enough plug? as we ran a p6 in the race prep yesturday with great results...I sent my full mod to him over a month ago he then raced it 2 weeks ago and it was "screaming" I have been told from a racer that was at the race...and has yet to let me know whats going on... so whos not supporting who here!??!?!?!

yes tony is a team driver. that is why he is not posting any of his problems on the forum. i, on the other hand, am not a team driver and am getting frustrated at not having my motor, especially when we were told we would have them over a week ago. and i am not getting them at cost. we have a couple big races coming and i would like to have more than just my back up motor just in case.

i also run at the hut with a p4 in a race prep with a 086 pipe and 30% byrons in a 8t 2.0. i get 12mins with and can clear any jump u putin front of it. i say stick with the p4 and see what happens.

whatever Al....I would not post my problems on the forum IF my TEAM MANAGER would reply to pms...or the TEAM OWNER would call and tell me whats going on.....

maybe if you used the team email like your supposed to i would have. RCT is NOT the place to discuss team matters. I have a email address and phone number for that.

anyone have any opinions on this clutch and problems it may cause?

sorry my fault for thinking I could get ahold of you on a forum you are on every day....wow great way to turning that around on to me...

Ryan,
me being on here daily has nothing to do with the fact that team drivers have a team email addy and are supposed to contact me that way only. This is the only way for me to keep everything on file and share info with appropriate ppl.

my appoligies Joe.

Ryan
