When I blow nitro through from the pipe tube, it starts, and as long as i keep accelerating it keeps running, but the moment I taper off the throttle, it stops, and then I have a very hard time starting it again. Even if I blow more nitro to it. I've never really managed to even get it somewhat hot, even though I've held it up and accelerated for quite some time. But I've never managed to idle it without it dying instantly.
It doesn't seem to get nitro from the tank without assistance, and even then I occasionally have a hard time starting/keeping it running. Running a medium OS glow plug ATM.
I've set it back to factory, which I've heard are extremely rich, so after I tried and failed at those settings I leaned in both the HSN and LSN. (I've tampered extremely much with these of course, but none seem to work.)
It's on an LST2 by the way, with a standard LST2 nitro tank, and there's a nitro filter on it as well (Connecting the 2 tubes from tank to engine, of course.)
Nitro does flow freely through when I blow on the tube, but what's up with this? I've tried for several days with several glow plugs. As soon as I get more tubes, I will try without the filter, but I don't think that's the cause.. It has good compression, so what is wrong?! Any ideas? Bought it used with about 1.5 gallons through it.
The reason why I don't think it's "destroyed" is because it runs fine as long as I accelerate and keep accellerating, and it has a good compression. Is it just hard to tune this engine or what?
