Well I never! A whole week of Plugging and Filling and Cutting and there is still Air in the System. So I went to where I bought the LST and within 30 seconds it was running like a dream!!!!!
All he did (Phil Greeno) was adjust the Low End Needle and adjust the High End Needle and Whalaaa!! No OverRev, just ticking over all lovely.

The Moral of the Story......
Do Not take the setting's in the LST Manual as Gospal like I did. I was so Frightened (being a complete Novice) to adjust the Screws anymore than the Manual told me to. My Low End Needle was on 2 turns out like the Manual said and it needed to be 3 1/2 turns out. I was actually running the Low End Needle way to Lean and this was the reason for the High Erratic Idle as it was being Starved of Fuel. I was also running my High End Needle to Rich, and that needed to be Leaned out. 2 Reasons he explained to me that I can remember was A: Obviously the Surrounding Conditions and B: the Fuel I was using (20% Nitro 16% Lubrication). He basically done the Tuning by Ear in 30 second's flat (he has been in the game for 30 years and he won the World Championship's in America, 1 1/8 Scale Cars). Once this was done the Shame Killed me and I had to leave the shop Quick. Lovely Guy! www.philgreenomodels.com

So Between everyone on here and Phil, I managed to sort it out and I can now go on the UK Monster Bash and enjoy my Truck to the Full. I'm Stoked!! Another good thing is I dont have to Seal anything now as I have already done it all. I'm off to get Her Dirty!! See Ya!!

glad to here you got her running at last,never of thought that having the needle to lean would cause air bubbles in the pipe,that would of suggested an air leak,i`ll remember that in future when i need to do more tunning myself.

MrBillUp - You're quite close to the MaxBashing site. Have you been down there? They've got a race on 1st May and by the looks of their web site the track is pretty good.

http://www.maxbashing.com have a look at their gallery and videos

A few of the guys from Swindon Nitros are taking their trucks there to try it out. It's supposed to be a very laid back session which is just the way we like it!

Glad your truck is purring|

got it out one turn,but just put it down to thrashing it gets,i`ve kept the axles as i have heard that the pins that snap off can be drilled and replacment pins cut from a specific gauge wire bought from hobby shops and put in place.not sure how true this is though
