Dead Ninja .28
less than a gallon and it wont stay running.. on the table it runs but when i put it down it flames out..??? not running hot...did proper break in.. changed fuel line.....im running ofna allu clutch shoes with gold springs.. anyone have any ideas??
|
RE: Dead Ninja .28
might be your clutch shoes, check those. i've heard of this problem before but i can't quite remember what causes it. but do check the clutch. also do a search on here, i know you'll find some threads on this problem. hope this helps.

RE: Dead Ninja .28
so i took it apart and put it back together.. went by my LHS and they could not tune it either.. i bought this POS from them 3 weeks ago their answer is that most likely its a lemon!!! wow 350 and you can still get a lemon.... do urself a favor and dont buy a ninja. i had a picco and got 6 gallons out of it...
|
RE: Dead Ninja .28
contact mugen/ninja and see if they will replace it.
|
RE: Dead Ninja .28
I wrote them an e-mail, i hope they get back to me.. No Reedy truck race for me...
|
RE: Dead Ninja .28
Don't give up on it yet....sounds like maybe in brake in the con rod stretched a little and pulled it out of tune......you could try a new con rod???
|
RE: Dead Ninja .28
ill buy it from you the way it is. how much?
|
RE: Dead Ninja .28
well its still fairly new so i would want 300.00
|
RE: Dead Ninja .28
well if its the con rod them im really done with this motor a 350 dollar motor should not have these problems....
|
RE: Dead Ninja .28
Ya I agree.....
|
RE: Dead Ninja .28
Nobodies suggested the easiest thing yet, Try a new glow plug.
It's quite normal to replace the conrod after break in, if you think the during that period he rod is under the most stress it will ever see, a lot of mnufacturers recommend replacing it after the first gallon anyway to avoid this very problem. Also, what fuel are you running it on and have you shimmed it to accept this? |
RE: Dead Ninja .28
A new glow plug??? cmon man that was the 1st thing i did... im not that sofa kingdom
|
RE: Dead Ninja .28
Well you never said and it's often overlooked and I dont care if your a furniture shop.:D But if you are running gold springs with an alloy clutch the maybe you've got a duff spring and the shoe is dragging, so when you sit it on the groung this drag is enough to stall the engine.
|
RE: Dead Ninja .28
hmmmm thanks i will switch them out....
|
RE: Dead Ninja .28
thats what i said earlier. well thats what i meant to say, Da Smak just worded it better.
|
RE: Dead Ninja .28
Other options are if the engine is sat too close to the spur and the gear mesh is too tight, If the brakes are on when the throttle is neutral, too rich on the bottom and it's loading up before you get it on the floor (given away by cuting out when you remove the ignitor) or maybe the engine is so out of whack that it really does need a full on retune from scratch.
|
RE: Dead Ninja .28
My money is on the clutch dragging. The new pinch on a Ninja is not that bad, it was very easy to break in.
|
RE: Dead Ninja .28
so its not the clutch i checked.. its got a leak somewhere.. after tunning it it ruins good but wont settle down.. i richend it all the way out and worked my way down to a good tune..do even when its WAY rich after a pinned run it cmes back and sounds like its starving for fuel..then bogs out..
|
RE: Dead Ninja .28
I would check the entire fuel system and both exhaust gaskets to make sure they are perfect.

On rare occasion the Ninja's have had front bearing issue, which could result in a severe air leak....But if it isnt the front tbearing it has to be something very simple, these motors have only 4 moving parts, so there isnt much that can go wrong, there is no such thing as a lemon as the LHS is describing.... to me the LHS sounds imcompetant if they cant diagnose such a simple running problem....I would be pissed off if thats all they are willing to do for you..... Also what head shims and nitro % are you running, as well what tuned pipe...???? what is this motor running in ? |
RE: Dead Ninja .28
so my LHS after further inspection think that its the front bearing that is leaking... they sent it to horrizon today to see what they can do..
|
RE: Dead Ninja .28
i had the same thing happen a few weeks back, engine would quit after high speed passes. it was the fuell filter pulling air at high rpm's, took me an hour to see catch it, tiny bubbles after reving with lid off. it ran great on the box but as soon as i would drive it it would quit. i doubt its the clutch shoes unless the wheels are turning as you start it. clutch shoes kill the engine when you brake.
|
RE: Dead Ninja .28
If I ever took an engine to my LHS and they couldnt fix a simple front bearing leak without sending it out I would find a new LHS :).
|
RE: Dead Ninja .28
I would still like to hear the plug and fuel.
|
RE: Dead Ninja .28
Only ran ninja plugs.. and 30 byrons.. no shim..

RE: Dead Ninja .28
when i called mugen they said i didint neeed to...oh well im giving up on this thing and gettin another picco...
|
RE: Dead Ninja .28
come on man, $300 is too much. It doesnt even work. I'll trade it for an STS .30 or less money.
|
RE: Dead Ninja .28
no thanks.. hopefully MOOOGEN will fix it for me Its being sent there... horrizon told me to ship it there.. i called MOOOGEN and they told me they will test it and i should get it back next week.

RE: Dead Ninja .28
Hey Supertib, what's the normal running temp for a Ninja 28? I've been running rich at 275-300. I've seen temps as high as 325 and hate to see that! I've been fighting this tuning ever since I got it. I run 2 shims. Broke it in on 4. :-)

RE: Dead Ninja .28
I'm running an Ofna 086 pipe. How many shims would you suggest to run in it with 30%? I've fought this tune since day one and I'd consider myself decent in the tuning department? :D

RE: Dead Ninja .28
I'm running it in my MBX5T. With the 14t bell.

RE: Dead Ninja .28
check ur clutch AND check ur LSN............for some reson ive found that the LSN on the ninja motors are very easy to have them to rich bye mistake

RE: Dead Ninja .28
Hi
i have a m21b01 and have some issues with it. I replaved the bearings and now i can't tune it anymore. My question is about the shimes, it has two installed (default) and i run 20% fuel is this then correct or should i remove one?? I can't find it anywhere on the cd-rom. Also i am thinking that my front bearing is leaking, during installation (preheat it in oven and bearing in freezer) the rubber came loose of the front bearing, i installled it back but since then it does not run anymore. What is a quick check to see if the bearing is leaking air. Blowing in the pressureline and some soapy water around the bearing? thanks |
