I ran it yesterday.. Fired right up, idled fine, excellerated a little slow (needed tuning) got it tuned and did one full pull down the driveway and it cut off.. Pulled and pulled and finally got it restarted, did another pass and it shut off again.. So, it's toast..
Let this be a reminder to any newbies who just get into nitro.. Make darn sure the aircleaner is secured to the carb, and if you happen to notice it has falled off, stop the motor immediately!! I ran mine on a golf course here in FL, and the aircleaner used to fall off under the body, and I wouldnt be able to see it.. I'd run in the sand traps and apparently it ingested some sand and as a result, the pinch is gone with not even a full gallon of fuel run through it.. So, be careful in sand or harsh environments, keep your air filter cleanandoiled properly, and again make sure the aircleaner housingis properly secured to the carb!!
