it was working fine unti it randomly cut out,
Several possibilities. Its most likely too rich and the engine got too much fuel and bogged out and quit. Also could be the glow plug.
i checked its temperature which was nice and cool ,
Make sure it stays above 200F
when i tried to restart it, it put up a fight, didnt want too start
Engine was flooded. Take out the glow plug, turn the rc over and cycle the engine a few times to clear it out.
when i finally got it going it was BUCKETING out smoke at idle, like a flood of blue smoke
, it would also not accelerate, becauseit would cut out if i tried,
Engine was WAY too rich, lean the HSN out in 1/8 turn increments until you're happy with the performance, but NOTuntil its broken in.
the idlespeed also kept increasing and increasing until it was like it was going to explode,
Turn the idle needle ccw until the idle is better
i checked the main jet too make sure it wasnt blocked and i kept leaning it out,but still loads of blue smoke and refused to run, i did all the basic tuning checks, but im not sure what the problem is, does anyone have any suggestions for me.
Some engines take a lot of leaning out until they run well, but be careful to not lean it out TOO much as that has its own set of issues.
