OS engine problems
I ran my car today which has an OS CV-X .15 engine in it. After it got up to about half throttle it wouldn't accelerate anymore even if was pulling the trigger to WOT. If I just went to WOT from a slow speed it would rev up and then usually die. Anyone know what the problem is? I changed the glow plug, but that didn't fix it.

RE: OS engine problems
A main needle set too rich will also do this to an engine. When you open it up, it momentarily gets enough fuel, but then floods and overwhelms the glowplug's filament.
