Default RE: dead engine?


ORIGINAL: debay

i have had my nitro for about a month. It got hung up and before i could get to it she revved out to max rpm and then died. i let her cool off and tried to run her again and she ran real rough before the plug died. New plug installed and now she wont idle for more that 10-15 seconds. either way she revs up slightly and then dies. If i try to run her up she lasts less than 10 seconds. I took the head off and I have metal filings on the piston head. any suggestions?



edit** oh yeah, i have a Tower Nitro ST-15..............ease off me, its all I could afford.
That speaks volumes about the poor quality of their motors. That con rod is beat all to hell just from some overreving.I've overreved many engines and never had that happen. Ibet the metal used to make that engine is very soft
