Really is the best vid Iv ever seen on tuning a carb on these nitros Iv been in the hobby for almost 20yrs and never heard some one explain it so simple and love the no bull crap attitude bro thanks for burning nitro and a friendly hello from Sask.
Right on man I try to put it out as best I can I have been in about 21 years or so I have kinda played with what works best for me and thanks for watchin!
Great vid Luke. For guys like us with nitro experience we’ve all been at the point at some time in the hobby where we could NOT get an engine to start. I’m glad you make videos like this because a new guy that can’t get his engine started is gonna give up and go to electric which we definitely don’t wanna see happen to our hobby. Good job bro 👍🏻
Welcome Mike! My grandfather is in New Zealand Christchurch area! And my channel is no BS to the point no nonsense no false information. I like crass and negative humor if you have an arty noticed Haha 🍻🤘🏻
Well just to let you know my car runs brilliantly. Thank you so much and keep doing what your doing. Ps I need a new tank now. Crashed it. To fast now. Lol
To an old time glowdriver like me ... been there done that, but it surprises me that such a video is necessary nowadays. I mean back in the old days you learned your craft including your engine. If you didn't, you didn't fly.
I hear ya bud! It's a very common question. Or what tune are you using? Sorry I can't give you a tune nor can I sing you one 😂 but guys like us that have all kinds of different engines airplane stuff you learn a certain way to do it and it always works. 💯🍻
Funny story. I bought this nice aluminum blue anodized head on ebay for the dynamite Mach 26 the old engine. After I installed it and started the engine, few minutes later the top piece of the aluminum head went ''BLING!" and it came off clean from the head. 🤣🤣
Just got my .19 in, man the ths header and ths header gasket fit this thing so well. Almost like they’re made for each other. Can’t wait to run it with this hot racing clutch and these kyosho stiff clutch springs. Also put all new protek bearings in the clutch bell
Dude, I honestly thought one of my engines were bad because I didn’t know how to turn a god damn needle 😂. What I thought was a full turn was a half turn🤣🤣
Generally I’ll reset my engines to 1-2 turns out from flush on the high and low speed except for os engines which I set to flush (which is pretty rich). Works for me. It sets the engines at a decently rich starting point for a tune, and if it’s for break in, I either leave the needles alone, or if it’s after a repinch, I give it another half turn or so from flush for the high and low speed. Setting your needles flush is for sure the easiest way to do it, but because different engine companies like to be different from each other, putting your needles flush will effect different engines in different ways
Like I'd mentioned before I don't know the settings for any engine I tuned them super rich at 1st and then run from there and for breaking settings I have quite the oddball is oddball brick in process that will make most people pull their hair out even if I try to explain it lol
Preheat the engine over 200°f and keep the head wrapped and the temperature up in the 200s it will take almost a gallon to break in. Kinda like the Adam Drake method but a lot longer. Ps keep in mind there is absolutely no parts available if someone happens. As that engine is 20 plus years old
Hi mate..love your vids and am in FB group with you, thought you would be the best person to ask , can I use any carb cleaner for my engines, if so what would you suggest? Many thanks :)
Thanks for watchin! And non chlorinated brake parts cleaner works fine be careful with carburetor cleaner it can destroy things you can use a strong alcohol like 99% rubbing alcohol works fine to
It deponds on were your LSN is at if it is kinda rich then setting it first to keep the engine in check so your not revving high and burnin your clucth. If it really close you could dobyour HSN first. I agree with Bug404 tbh.
thanks for helping us! question,can i use this OS carb on a small block nitro engine ?..OS Engine 21783000 Carburetor .15LA.,they are only 15 dollars new!
Brother you and I know each other and I'm consistently looking for a video telling me what the factory settings are for my motor 🛵 what little do I know that it's a video made by a friend it is a video made by a friend lol❤❤❤
@@skycorrigan6511 i am admin yes. Upon joining the Nitro RC enthusiast group be sure to answer all 3 questions or your request will be denied that's not my choice that's the owner's choice. Be sure to check that out and get back to me
What happens when it only runs while being bumped and when you let off the starter it want keep running?...is that to lean or to rich because none of these setting are working for me in the deep south
Thanks for responding me with this video. People like you makes the nitro community going forward!
Glad it helped! It's just the way I have always done it and always seems to work

Gonna go see if I can bring this motor back to life
Go for it I also have a nitro group on Facebook if you interested
I love your commentary! Straight to the point. Another educational video👍
Thanks for watchin!
Finaly someone that explains it like it is and yeah i dont fucking know either But thanks youve explained it brilliantly.
Thanks for the kind words! And I truly try to make as clear and to the point as possible 💯😎🍻

No head shim or wrong glow plug

There a good engine man I got 2 of them
I may buy another one or 2 to have around as backups
Awesome video man, keepin it simple I like it 👍
Thanks much.
Your very welcome!
Nice tuning explanation.
Best I could do haha
Dude, I honestly thought one of my engines were bad because I didn’t know how to turn a god damn needle 😂. What I thought was a full turn was a half turn🤣🤣
That is one of the reasons why many people in my city are switching to electric cars😑
I love nitro and I will never change🏎💨💨
Thanks been trying tune my engine 3 turns in little adjustments and low speed needle left mind speed flush
Pop on to Facebook and look for the nitro rc enthusiasts group post a video that way we can help you get all sorted out 🍻💯
@@thebug4046 ok thanks
@@alexgarrod9093 also Adam drake on CZcams has great tuning videos
Nice video I get that Idle gap and make sure nitro getting in and just about getting it going and then start tuning Idle cap key I think
Only one mistake in a decade is pretty good going. Although I guess it depends on what it was.
Hahaha!
No I understand make since to me
It’s a world of pain even when you get it , winter comes around , summer again boom brain fart for half a day then boom it all comes back 😀

Thats right, take them fools to school
I bought a new Rossi .12 micron with no manual, my concern proper break in settings on needle valves . Too rich can be bad also?

Turn the needle in then turn it out 1/2 turn n let it rip. Youll no longer need to worry about it. LOL. 😂💨

@@thebug4046 great stuff, thanks for the advice, much appreciated :)
Won't it be better to lean the hsn out first then work on the idle and lsn last?
Work the idle and low first before the high basically everyone does it it like That you can watch Adam Drake tuning videos if you need

That a airplane carburetor not really good for rc car engines they like to be near full throttle all the time since they have no low speed needle
@@thebug4046 i thought i was to good to be true a cheap OS carb for our car engines lol thanks for advice .
@@khaosnitro no problem You can always get a SH 18 carburetor they work awesome
Got an old gs racing nitro rigs haven't run for a hell of a lot of years looking for needle o rings for the carbs any help would be great thanks
Easier to grab a new carb. The SH 21 to 28 or Dynamite big red carburetor will fit it for about 30$ and the o ring set is 20 if you can find one
Hey bro is their a good site to get glow plugs that u know of ?
