Help Help with tunning Kyosho Inferno Please

Hello all,
I am just getting nitro RC cars and purchased my first buggy a Kyosho 1/8 buggy with a newish 21GX motor a bit over a week ago. The motor has

only had a couple ltrs of 20% through it. It was running awesome in the middle of the day and went very hard but I couldn't get it to run in the

nights when the temp has dropped off which is when I will do allot of my racing against my mates..

I played with the tune trying to get it to run but now I'm having some problems,

I can get it to run now but the idle has to be to high and its going to burn out clutches, should I be letting it warm up with high idle on a stand

then lowering the idle before placing it on the ground?

I would prefer to get it running on a good idle setting so clutches aren't worn for no reason of course. So when i start it the clutch isn't engaged at

all prefferbly?

At the moment I have to either have a high idle or pull the trigger to get it to start. I thought this may be rich low neddle maybe?
It will start and idle for maybe 3 seconds before dieing. It does not idle up before dieing, it just dies.

What glow plug should I be using? It came with a OS #8 installed and I have purchased more of these but Kyosho recommends either A5 or R5.
I live in Grafton NSW which can get hot in the day and cold at night and there are no Hobby shops for atleast 100kms..

Can someone please provide a base setting or some advice on how to get it running good.

I have cleaned the carby, the air filter, replaced fuel lines and also installed a Hitec ultra torque steering servo and am using AT Racing 20% nitro.

I have the idle gap set at about 0.7mm. | | proberly smaller then those lines. but it will not start until i make them larger then its engaging the clutch



idle at about 0.7mm
high end needle about 2 1/2 turns from fully seated
low end needle about 0.5mm inside the hole. which is a fair few turns from the fully seated position.

what should I be doing please?

I will add a picture to my post in case anyone can tell me what model Kyosho Inferno it is also?

thankyou!

At first glance, it's an MP6.

As for the tuning issue, you may have to richen your needle (screw it counter-clockwise) as the outside temperature drops. Just a little bit, not a lot. I would have to guess at about an 8th of a turn. The needle you will want to turn is the one where the fuel line attaches to the carb.
