Tuning for Humidity
I am having problems keeping my vehicles (RC10GT and Mammoth) running when it gets humid (which it is right now). When it gets really hot and humid, they seem to bog down and shut off when I punch the throttle, but they start right back up like nothing is wrong.
In the morning when it is cool, they both run great.
How do you tune for this? Or what could be the problem? Any help would be appreciated!!
Thanks
Joe

RE: Tuning for Humidity
as temperature goes up you must lean out slightly, think of it like this, hot air takes up more room so less air can fit in the cylinder, so less fuel is needed. In the winter the opposite is true (more air will fit in the cyl. requiring more fuel)
