Quick question.........IHOPE
 

I have a xxx-nt adam drake 2 with a O.S. max .12rt engine. I keep burning throught glow plugs after one tank of gas, anyone know why that might be? Also.. I just stripped my flywheel, does anyone know how that happened and where I can get a new one?!?! Any and all information is greatly appreciated!!

Actually I think it was the spur gear that was stripped..

most likely you are running the motor to lean, turn the hsn out about 4hrs to fatten it up some .. here is a link to some parts

Really you think its running too lean? I was trying to lean it out before it broke because there was quite a bit of blue smoke coming out of the pipe?

Questions need only be posted to one forum.

Thank you!

If you believe the engine is not adjusted too lean, do Two other things, 1- add a shim under the head to reduce compression.. 2- use a colder plug. You may need to realize also that if the rear bearing is failing, metal particles from it may be getting into the combustion chamber and hitting the coil at supersonic speeds and damaging the platinum element.
