Engine Stalling
 
Well I fixed my crazy engine issue but now I cant get the thing to run. The breakin hasent been going so well the first time I ran it, it went WOT and much faster than I wanted too and since then I have tryed to get it running a couple times. Here the problem the truck starts up easily and then I turn up the throttle trim to a high idel give it a few seconds and remove the glow starter and then it just stalls or stalls when I apply a tiny bit of gas. I have the needels set as the manual says for the first 2 tanks of fuel and the plug seems fine I compared it to another new mc coy i had and it was the same as the new one but I swapped it out anyways and that still dident work so im guessing its either too rich or lean perhaps you guys can help me out. ;)

sounds to rich, the factory settings are way to RICH, u should heat cycle the engine, especially in that cold a weather u are in, doin it by the manual will just shorten your engine life, Especially when the weather is as cold as your saying

I had the same problem...The manual is way off. I called thunder tiger and they said turn the low speed 3 turns from closed.

geex mate, 3 turns is way lean, i run at about 5 and 1/4 and it runs like a raped ape. 3 turns out is just asking for trouble

The engine ran fine with the lsn set at 3 turns...never had tuning or overheating issues with the lsn set at 3 turns. But my advice to newfienitro is to start at factory and turn at 1 hour increments.

I'm not saying your setting is wrong or right....I'm just saying what worked for me.
