Default Nitro Engine Question

Just put together a Raptor 90 SE.

Started the engine which was reving extreamly high and was sraying fuel out the exhaust.
Set the low & high idel for the motor as discribed in the thunder tiger manual.
Obviously something is wrong. Could'nt. get the motor to slow down.
Finally I pulled the fuel line off to kill the engine.
Any advice as to where to start and a good "kill switch " would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance

Default RE: Nitro Engine Question

There are no "kill switches" for nitro engines. Only way to kill 'em is to close the throttle, are you sure your carb throttle settings are correct? Forget the needles for now and concentrate on setting up the throttle arm.

Here is some good reading to properly setup the throttle arm.
