Engine PROBS!!
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.

RE: Engine PROBS!!
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.... [&:]

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.
