.12tz

[Meatwad]

ok so im having trouble with my touring car and i cant figure it out. so i need your help. the problem is that when i go Wide open throttlemy 12 tz flames out. it stays running unless i go WOT. but it will run forever on the box at WOT. i checked the clutch and its fine. what could it be?

[Tex]

HSN too lean

[Meatwad]

well i just ran the car on the box and. there was bubbles coming out by the glow plug. wtf

[Czech-it-Out Graphics]

tighten the plug....and your HSN is waaaaaaay to lean, u hit full throttle and the engine lean bogs so bad it dies

[Meatwad]

thats just it the plug is tight. anybody got tuning specs for this engine?
and arent OS plugs longer

[Czech-it-Out Graphics]

os plugs are shorter, just tune it for smoke richen up the top end a turn atleast and just go from there, do the pinch test for the lsn should take like 5 seconds or so to rev up and kill

Needle Valve (aka High Speed Needle):1¾ open from closed position
per page 18 of manual.

Mixture Control Screw (aka Low Speed Needle):The head of the mixture
control screw is flush with the carb body per page 25 of manual.

Metering Needle: Head of metering needle screw is flush with the
ball link body per page 25 of manual.

i was 1/4 turn lean on top. and rich on the bottom and mid-range

Meatwad one thing I have found is that the manual is sometimes a little off. Like with my Hyper .21 it is too rich according to the manual and I must lean it out some to keep it running good, but with yours it might be the opposite thing and you need to richen it a little more than the manual states. Just a thought... let me know if it works

ill run it in the morning and see.

On my motors to tune them out pretty good. I usually just richen the top end and lsn about 1-1 1/2 turns then start it. It will usually run like crap then die, I start to lean it out a tad until I can get some speed on it. Then get the engine warmed up then start tuning. Usually results in a nice tune with minimal effort, and no temp gun. Good smoke and power.

Basicly just start over rich where it won't clear out at all, warm it up a bit, then start to lean it out a bit at a time, HSN First, then LSN and Idle.

Those are just the stock settings. Doesn't mean the engine will run with those settings.

Yeah.

Like I said, Richen it excessivly and work your way down from there thats how I get my tune.

might have dirt around the seal. probably take the head off and clean the the area where the plug rests.

[rocco79]

Fill the motor with simple green and throw it on your stater box.... That should remove any dirt from the motor....

[Meatwad]

yeah its leaking cause im running the wrong plug.mash:

ok

[hansarvin]

You should be running and OS plug in that motor. What plug were you running? Also what percent nitro are you running? If 20% run the equivalent of an MC8 (sorry I'm not familiar with OS glow plugs) and 30% the equivalent of either the MC9 or MC59. Hope this helps!!!

[Meatwad]

not an os plug. and its a turbo plug. the plug says #7

[Tex]

your plugs probably ok, just tune it....

And hansarvin, your plug theory makes NO sense at all. Your saying with 20% run a medium temp plug but with 30% run either a cold or hot plug?????

MC8, medium
MC9, cold
MC59, hot

[Tex]

forgot to finish.......

20% runs better on hot plugs
30% generally runs better with cold or medium plugs

These are general rules and everyones experiences will vary......(I've ran hot plugs in .21's on 30% with great success)

[Meatwad]

im running OD 20

I run a super duper hot in the vzb on 30%. Could I need more power? I dont think so.
Like I said before, bring that turd by and well try to make it not stink so bad...
Home by 5:30.

[hansarvin]

wow Tex thanks for setting me straight this is just what I had heard and what I run. Now I probably just figured out why I have problems chasing a tune all the time. http://www.odonnellracing.com/glowplugs/index.html I'm not sure but I think that that link should help on some plug conversions. But which one do you run maybe I'm blind but I can't find OD 20 anywhere.

[Meatwad]

i run a #7 plug with odonnel 20%
