ORIGINAL: Digital Ninja
well yea ive got this cen ct4s and there many problems with it so can someone help.
problem number one is that if i start it the engine will only idle for about 30 secs but then stop unless i rev it ( is this normal), plus ive seen that the idle screw is all the way in
2. after like 5 mins of use if i keep reving it at full , the engine will cut off or if i let go of the throttle the engine will also cut off, is this due to overheating<
also i have tried to tune it but its taking ages and the engine still stalls,
other problems is that that that there is smoke coming out of the cooling head, and some fuel (from where the glow plug is,
and also if i dont use the car for like 1 week, the car doesnt move until i rev it alot and then it starts to move slowly and gains speed later.
so can anyone help please... does anyone know some default tuning seeting i can put it in
thx again
Your car has a plethera of issues with it. The engine idle for 30 seconds is fine. On nitro engines you will need to blip the throttle to keep it running. This is normal.
# 2 and 3 are linked. If oil and smoke are coming out of the glow plug hole, either the glow plug is loose, or the head is loose. Both should be checked. This leak is causing the engine to run lean (HOT) and shut off. This is not good. Running it for too long like this can cause permanant damage to the piston and sleeve (but dont worry you can replace those for cheap.)
