Hi! I got a Kyosho Inferno Sports and it runs fine at high speeds but it stalls at low speeds or in idle...even when I take a corner at low speeds it normaly stalls...I can never run a full tank without it stalling.
I have the idle a bit high to try to stop this... and he car runs away if you dont aply brakes
Any Ideas?
thanks

Lean the LSN a bit.

First, put the idle set screw back, tuning the LSN with that out of place will mess you up.

I tune my LSN by letting it idle for only 20 seconds before it dies. If it idles any more richen the needle (counter clockwise). If it idles and less, lean it (clockwise). I also run 20%. 30% has enough kick that it won't die so my method doesn't help you there.

richen means more fuel in no?
lean means less fuel ni no?
I thought richen whas clockwise and lean anti clockwise
at least clockwise with idle screw makes rpms go up
and anti clockwise makes rpms go down

RobH

correct.


Incorrect.

I see where you can thing that more fuel would make it go faster. It's weird but it doesn't it's the oposite. Less fuel (and more air) makes it go faster until a point. The fuel is mixed with oil so a properly tuned engine should run a little rich so it gets plenty of lubrication from the oil in the fuel. If you lean it out, performance will increase but you're starving it for oil and the engine will heat up and that causes damage and in extreme cases the engine gets destroyed.

Anyway, clockwise is lean (more performance) and counter clockwise is rich (less performance). It's a weird concept that you'll get used to.

I've never sign up for MSN messager. I have Yahoo Messanger ( roberthamilton77 ). I could hop on IRC if you know what that is -- if not don't worry about it.

My Feedback: (1)

My father's MP7.5 Sports had the same problem, just lean out the LSN and increae the idle screw if needed.
