First off, I have been running nitros for a few years now so I would like to think I know a little about them, but I also admit I learn something new almost everyday about them. So my question is this... I have an HPI 18SS and an OS18 CVRX in my MT2. I broke them both in as per the instructions and heres my little problem. They both run great. But they both spit out a tonne of fuel from the exhaust!!! I mean a steady friggin stream of it!!! They spit out so much fuel that at the end of a 5 minute heat of racing I am almost or I am completely out of fuel!!! Its not a "Too rich" issue as both these motor are running the HSN's about 3/4 - 1 turn out from closed. Besides like I said they both run great with tonnes of power and no over heating. But the amount of raw fuel coming out the exhaust has me baffled. I thought maybe I didnt have the right amount of line from the tank to the exhaust therefore messing up backpressure and such but according to the instructions it is the proper amount.
Does anyone know why I would have all this fuel coming out? Its actually kind of funny cause when I am up for a race and I fire up my truck, I grab the back of it with the nose pointing down as I carry it to the drivers stand and as I give it throttle it just spits out like a 1/8 inch stream of raw fuel out the exhaust...Kinda looks like my truck is taking a whizzz...LOL. But seriously it is getting rather annoying wondering if I will make the entire race without runing out of fuel.
Thanks for any help any one can offer.
