Was wondering if anybody could help me....i have a Collari .32 in my savage..currently i have it rigged up on my home made engine stand, because everytime i put it in my truck...i can only run it for 'bout 2-3 mins..[:'(]...tonight i had it idling for bout 1/4 tank and everytime i give it throttle...it revs up then stalls....max temp i had it up to tonight was 235....lotsa smoke....at a loss....any suggestions would be appreciated...:D

it sounds like you may be too lean on the low speed needle. try resetting it to factory defaults and leaning from there.

Id try richening the low and high end needles in conjuction with each other untill it can run from bottom to top (ok), then start to lean it out again.

..........TURNELL..........

Matey I have had similar problems with my LC32MT.
Heres what I did, ripped the head off to determine what plug it needs. Discovered that an OS-8 type is tooo short.
Only use a long reach, preferably NovaRossi 3,4,5 or 6 depending on weather/nitro/barometric pressure etc. 6 is cold.

Reset needles to 4 or 4.5 LSN and 7 or 7.5 HSN, using weather considerations and height above sea level as a guide. I found that LSN is no more than a 360 from flush and the HSN is just above flush.

Keep the temps under 260F on a HOT day and I have no idea about cold as I haven't had a winter yet in Australia.

point to note: Keep in mind that a standard plug like the OS-8 is shorter than a Standard NovaRossi Plug.

Now saying all this, my expierence over the last month tuning this podantic little pony maker is that it favours HIGH Nitro above 20% and Prefers less Oil than common 14%, maybe a common race blend is better, likes low gearing because it likes to Rev and rev hard.

To add a trick to make it actually achieve highest potential, remove the HSN plastic fuel bulb and check it is not obstructed with plastic from the mould. you will need a little spanner to do so. This will not mess your HSN settings up.

This motor seems to prefer a High idle setting to help deceleration burn off so make sure you set it a fraction before clutch engagement when atleast half way through a tank.

Good luck!!
