Default mt2 wont stay started

every time i drive my truck it will run really good for 15 min then it will turn off. i can start it again with the glow igniter and it will die again after that i can start it just with the glow ignighter in and if i take it out it will die i tuned with it allittle but it dosnt seem to change any thing. i think it might be over heating but i was you opinion.


also there is some clackling after it dies

if you want to any other details about my problem just ask

If you have a new glow plug, I would try that. I use the OS A5 and they work a lot better on the NT-16 than the stock glow plug. Since switching, I also noticed I do not have to leave the glow igniter on the plug as long. I can pull it off as soon as the motor starts. With the CEN plugs I had to let it warm up a bit before pulling the glow igniter off. Not sure that's your problem, but it's worth a try.

Until you are familiar with tuning a nitro engine you should get a hand held temp gun. It will make tuning alot easier.

It does sound like a glow plug but when an engine over heats it has the same symptons. Without knowing the temp it is hard to tell.
