Default GST tune problem

i have some problem when i try to tune the GST's motor.
i saw that after a rectilinear with full trottle gas if i stop the gst and restart...the GST switch off the motor!! why? sometimes it seems to me that the fuel doesn't come to the motor very well.
if i lift the gst and open the gas to the max the motor switch off? i tune the max and the idle but....i don't know.
HELPPP

the fuel is 16%

Sounds like mostly tune and do a check for air leaks. You are also a likely candidate for an ofna ck valve .... right TRD ?? 16 % ??

This http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXEYG3&P=7 Also up the % of nitro to at least 20% Look thru these threads. MUTT ( TRD ) did a bit on the check valve. Check his gallery.

This http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXEYG3&P=7 seems to me a simple pump. how can it help me for my problem of switch off?

It is a check valve which will maintain pressure to the tank. It is installed between the muffler and tank. with a more consistant tank pressure, you can refine your tune and also hopefully eliminate half tank lean probs.

It can almost be as long or short as you like within reason. Be sure there are no kinks and avoid having the line touching the head or exhaust. Some like a little extra line between the tank and carb to keep it runing a little longer. Your choice.

Not close to my truck, but that sounds a little on the long side. Is that between the tank and carb ?

Give it a try. You can always replace the line.
