Acceleration trouble on OFNA MP
I just got my MP(monster pirate) used from a guy off a paintball forum. I started it up and I let it run for about 2 minutes and it was primed and everything. It had fuel in the tank and when I gave it throttle it just made a burp noise then shut down. I'm using 16% trinity fuel and he ran 20% gas in it before. Last night it worked great but when I started it today it's not working too well. Maybe it's the glow plug because when I'd give it gas it would turn off. I'm new to r/c so keep the bad remarks to yourself.
EDIT: It starts easy just to let everyone know. 2 pulls and it starts just when you accelerate it burps and dies.
Thanks,
Tom

I had the same prob on mine, all you have to do is tune it a little and then you should be fine, mine does that every once in a while( btw pics in my gallery) . After about two tanks i usually have it running fine. you just have to tune it to your weather conditions.

Its either to lean or to rich. Need some more info. What engine is in it? where are your HSN and LSN at? To check glow plug. Take plug out and connect it to your ignitor. It should glow bright orange.

IMO it's to rich, mine does that when its like that. I have the stock hyper engine in mine and it is a little tempermental sometimes but when i get it tuned for that days weather it rocks from there on out.

Quit!!!!!!!!! runing 16% in a engine thet was runing 20 you cant do this! It will blow it up. You can go up but you cant go down and you should be useing the same brand of fuel as well. If you keep it up it will seize up

Back this claim up with data (and I will concede to being wrong) OR just STOP MAKING IT.
On 3 or 4 different engines I have run LOTS of Brands with LOTS of different percentages.... A re-tune is certainly in order but these engines don't die any sooner than those that just run 1 fuel....
