Hi,
Nathan here. I ran a tank of fuelthis afternoon. no problems. it runs out of fuel and i refilled tank and it will only idle now. when i open throttle it dies. i spent an hour cranking on that darn thing. I bled air bubbles out of line. I had a lot of trouble on first breakin tank with airbubbles. Tank gets halt to 1/4 empty and it will die. Have to fill back up to start again. On my 6th tank of fuel. No more troubls till now.
What would cause this? I see no air bubbles. engine idles fine. dies when throtthe opens. Truck did flup a few times in grass at low speeds. it kept running.
Hope someone can help.

try leaning out the low speed needle a tiny bit...see if that helps. as far as the bubbles what percent nitro are you using and what brand ?

doesnt sound like a tuning issue to me.

check motor head/exhaust and muffler for damage or anything loose.

make sure the glow plug has it's washer.

make sure a fuel line didnt get damaged.

check the tank, fuel lines and carb for any dirt/blockage.

I have a similar problem with my rc8. It runs amazing until about half a tank then it dies and the fuel line is dry. I figure I have an air leak somewhere, any ideas?

Give me a 1987 Trans Am Gta And Ill tell you. and what a coincidence, there is one for sale by me. Make sure your fuel tank doesn't have any cracks, and that the seal on the cap is Ok, and not too loose or pinched or something. you are now legaly obliged to buy me said car by me answering this question

Try a new glow plug cheap and easy to do

Wheres My Trans Am?

Bran new tank (maybe3 tanks ran through it, well 6 half tanks)with a flawless seal. Fuel line is clean and isn't pinched. I have been through a few new glow plugs in it.

I will double check everything when this monsoon in the midwest ends. =/
