Default RE: Revo keeps stalling!!


ORIGINAL: iamnot

it may "seem" tuned right to you
but it is not
the stalling thing is an indication of a bad tune

we cannot say if it's lean, rich or what
but that does not matter anyway

reset the needles to factory and tune the engine

tuning is a huge part of owning and running a nitro rc

to learn how read your manual and watch the dvd that came with your truck

if you don't have that

it's not hard
it just takes practice

good luck

Thanks for the reply. And yes I do have the manual and DVD and all that information about tuning and what not, although i'm not convinced that is the problem. I just brought it out litereally 10 minutes ago, and same thing, keeps stalling. It seemed a bit lean so I thought it might be from not enough fuel going through, so I richened it up quite a bit, and it still stalls. Sometimes it even stalls on a high RPM, that should not happen. I'm quite convinced that it is a bad glow plug. When first starting when I take the glow plug heater off, it will shut off imediately if I do not keep it revved. I'm quite possitive that it is the glow plug, if so, what is causing them to burn out so quickly? I've went through 2 bran new ones and I barely even used them! I'm running on the McCoy MC-8. Medium - High heat glow plugs. The go by pretty quick, is this normal? Is it possible them to become junk after short usages?

That is what i'm stuck on at the moment.
