@@andrewgates9518 yeah definitely odd that’s the only thing I use my left hand for, when I was doing indoor/outdoor racing people were like how do you drive like that.😂
I think it’s a carburetor problem. I had the same issues when I started with my LST. Not to scare you but it took me a whole year to finally understand it. Also get a heat gun and preheat your engines to help them crank over on initial starts. What you can also do is loosen the glow plug to lose some compression then tighten it when it’s started. I’ve been doing nitro for two years and have a lot to tell you. When I get home and watch the entire video.
Second I honestly have no clue why the carb would flood like that😂 bizarre! With stock setting the fuel should not be coming out like that so definitely your high speed needle has an issue with regulating the amount of fuel going into the carburetor. I recommend getting a brand new carburetor and rebuild the old one and save it for backup. Sh engine .28 carburetor fits but it is larger intake. That’s what I used on my .26 which it ran ok but tuning was easier with the original carb and I got more power out of it. The crank shafts are the same in the .28 and .26/427 so there won’t be intake resistance from allowing too much air into the crank case. I really like the Sh carburetors and they are made by the same manufacturer and are perfect fit. It’s not wrong to run the bigger intake but for fuel mileage it is better with stock.
Thanks for the advice I will take out the high speed need and take a look this is all original 19 years old so I wouldn't be surprised if somethings wrong in the carb. I will reduce the idle gap for sure. All parts are pretty must discontinued so hopefully easy fix. I played around with it some before it got to late and got it to idle a bit without the transmitter, maybe ill post it for yo to see.
@@DillyWillyy engine parts you can still find. SH, DYNAMITE MACH and LRP are under the same losi engine platform. A lot of those engine brands run under the same manufacturer. LRP is the racing division as the carburetors are changeable with racing carburetors. SH and Dynamite are the RTR engines and are more simplified but internally all those engines use the same parts like piston connecting rods and crankshafts. Also backplates and head buttons they all can share.
First your idle gap is way too big. I did the same thing when I started. Try to keep your idle gap as small as possible so that your able to get full throttle range out of your carburetor. To help it idle with a small idle gap you need to lean the low speed. What I recommend you do is start with the idle gap and set it to half of what it’s at right now. Then lean the low speed until it idles and you may need to make a high speed adjustment where the high speed needs to be leaned and low speed richen slightly. It took me a whole year to learn how a healthy nitro engine sounds. It just takes time and failure to learn. Just make sure you have a light steady stream of smoke out of the exhaust and the engine doesnt lean out when off throttle. Leaning out will cause the engine to run dry and not lubricated. If that happens richen the low speed and if it doesn’t idle slightly raise the idle gap. Goodluck and don’t get frustrated. I regret getting frustrated as it’s nice to run stuff but patience is very important with a nitro rc. Number one rule is to have fun.
I was thinking the same thing but it should be able to run on losi break in tune. Gonna try and lean it out some more next time just to get it running.
Respect you going against the grain with your transmitter handling 😂❤ your rig a left hand drive

Great advice, haywire 👍💯

Haywire got you bro 🎉 list of solutions an some big ground rules 🫡 great headstart

@@haywirerc Makes sense good to know will definitely reference this for parts.
Always bring TWO Glow sticks!

Great advice haywire 👍
Maybe the needle settings are too rich???
