Status: offline 		I would offically like to nominate myself as the worst tunner in the world!!!!!!!! I have read and read the tuning post and I just cant get it down, Man my airplanes are so much easier to tune, my rustler and syclone kick my butt all over the place, I dont know what is up or down with these things anymore!!! I even made tiny adjustment and drove for awhile then it seems like bam, the thing is bogging down and barely runing, Thats when I put it up for the night, because this is a hobby that is supose to be fun and I started to not have fun towards the end. If I set my high needle valve flush with the collar the thing would run out off fuel in probly 2 min. From what i see thats where people are saying to start out, But it is probly me

Status: offline 		No, i'm pretty sure flush with the collar is entirely way to lean. That's why you're running out of gas so fast, to be honest with you I'm surprised the thing even ran at that setting. Mine isn't completely tuned yet, i'm still playing around with it, but i'll try to take a picture of where it is and post it in a little. Hopefully that'll help you out a little.

Status: offline 		the low end should be even with the collar and the high end 2 1/2 to 3 turns out. the low end setting is on the same side as the throttle linkage, i think your looking at the wrong side. These are the start up setting or break in , you will most likely have to lean it out a little. The high end need to be adjusted first, then the low end.

Status: offline 		See this is where i am messed up, I thought if it is way to lean then the fuel would last longer? but I have the valve set at about a 1/16 of and inch in from flush of the collar right now and the thing was spitting fuel and oil out the exhaust like mad. ok i just want to make sure on this in is rich and out is lean right, I hope so if not i might give up due to lack of brains, I would also like to say i am a dodge mechanic (at Woodhouse, some of you may have heard of it due to it is huge) and i have a yamaha yz250, rebuilt it 2 yrs ago, I am very mechanicly inclined just these thing got me all confused as of right now. I am ashamed to say i am a mechanic with the things i am saying right now, man lol

Edit: I think that may be the low speed needle in the last pic.

Status: offline 		counterclockwise(out, open) is rich, clockwise (in, close) is lean. Spitting fuel at idle is normal. First adjust high end and make the car run, then pinch fuel line, if engine revs high and stalls the low end is too rich, lean 1/8 turn and run for 30 seconds and do again, the best setting is when it either just stalls or revs slightly and stalls. BTW High end is the adjustment where the fuel line comes in, the low end is where the throttle linkage hooks up.

Status: offline 		the low end is right where the throttle linkage connect to the slide of the carb, you have to look from the side to see it, its on the throttle servo side of the carb.

Status: offline 		maybe you have a carb with only one tuning needle, they do make them. If there is a low end needle it will be on the same side of the carb as the throttle linkage.

Status: offline 		Also if you are finding it hard to tune your nitro engine it is usually a good idea to change the glow plug, sometimes the element start to wear out, just because it lights up doesnt mean its good. especially on a new engine during break in or right after.

Status: offline 		hey just a stupid question which i already know the answer to, but how bad would it be if there was a little water in the gas tank and the fuel line. I mean it's barely enough to consider it a drop, but would it really kill things all that badly?

Status: offline 		not as long as you ran it out, dont leave it in the tank, line or engine, would make a problem, moisture is not good for the engine, thats why you should not leave fuel in the tank since nitro fuel attracts moisture. You should run the tank dry before you put it away. i always put it away with an empty tank.

Status: offline 		Haha, time to clean that bad boy. As for the adjustments I wish I could help you but I only recently figured things out on my own engine, I'm not quite sure how your carb is setup. I'm sure someone who knows a little more about these things will chime in though.

Status: offline 		usually where you have the philips screw by the throttle linkage is, is where the low end is, that screw does not look like a low end needle adjusting screw, does it turn easily or does the whole linkage collar move with it? if the whole linkage collar moves then it seems like you have only the one "high end" setting. These are usually very hard to tune perfectly.

Status: offline 		I was looking at my manual and I have the same pic on page 10. If anything I think page 6 is the most helpful at pointing out where everything was. It's still a little misleading because the idle mixture screw and the idle adjustment screw are on the otherside on my carb. They're where the throttle lever is pointing to.
