Everytime i start up my rusty, the engine idles for a while then shuts off. IS it just tuning problems or coudl it be other problems w/ the carb or the engine.

is it winter bc it might be running to cold

try raising up your idle, and are you running it rich? if you are then lean it a little bit, or when you start it dont let it idle

I had that kind of thing when I tried running my truck (RC10GT) in the snow last week... It was really cold outside... I eventually gave up because it wouldn't start, however the next time I wanted to run it I ended up making the mixture much more rich -- worked great... The cold weather really makes a difference.

Now that I think about it though... that doesn't make much sense as you'd think the cold weather would keep the engine cooler meaning I could run with less fuel in the mixture.... Hmm.... [&:]

Cold air is more dense. If don't touch your needles and go from a warm/hot day to a cold day, your mixture will still be more lean.

I was runing my rusty when it was about 10f out the other day and I had to richen it out about 1 turn of the high speed needle to get it to run at all.
