if i leave it itll stall at high speed and run at 295
but when i run at 255 when i let off it goes to a low idle and boggs a little when i accelerate is it my low speed needle?
or somethin else

RE: engine question
keep hsn where itll run at 255 and slowly lean the lsn if that doesnt work then start back at factory settings then c what u need from there always make sure there is a good smoke trail when accelerating also there is a pinch test to see if lsn is set correctily search the forum or search nitro pinch test with Google

RE: engine question
yes there is a good smoke trail.
when i test the temp i put my duratrax temp gauge touching the zipties on the cylinder head pointin towad the glow plug and it reads say 255
if i put it pointin at the glow plug outside the cylinnder head about level with the carb it will read about 25 degrees cooler. which place is correct?
