Engine Revving Out Of Control!
Hi all,
Subject: Nitro hammer
The problem I'm having is this, my boat previously ran fine on the current needle settings. The other day I ran approximately a half a tank through with no problems then I stalled it. I brought it in and when I restarted the engine, it revved extremely high as if I had it full throttle and stayed there. I didn't mess with my needle settings and couldn't find anything wrong with it. I went ahead and threw it in the lake and let it run hoping the engine would settle back down. It ran for a little bit with no let up and when I gave it throttle it killed the engine. I brought it back in and every time I started it after that, the engine still continued to run very high rpms. I did try turning the high-speed needle down some and it slowed it down a little bit however, it was groggy and didn't respond right after that. I set the needle back where I had it before and it’s still running too fast. Any ideas on what could be causing this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

RE: Engine Revving Out Of Control!
First, how wide open is the barrell in the carb? At idle you should have no more than a small opening. Enough to put a needle through (sewing needle). Next I would check the fuel circuit for a restriction that is making the engine run extremely lean. Your comment about the engine having no power and quiting when you open the throttle tells me you are to lean. Since you have not changed the needle setting from prior good runs I suspect a lack of fuel flow to the mixture needle. Also check your fuel lines for a source for an air leak. That will also cause a lean mixture.

RE: Engine Revving Out Of Control!
My hammer did that right out the box. This fix was that the LSN was way too lean. I know that you said it only started doing this but it is worth a look.
