Hi there, please can anybody tell me how to get the nitro engine of my car set up to how it was when it left the factory/ I have attempted to tune the car and it all when it a bit horribly wrong! The mid range screw came out and I didn't notice and the low end screw went right in. Now I have no idea how to get it all set up again as at the moment it wont even start. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Gary Aren't the factory settings in the manual? > Hi there, > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Gary Yes the manual does have the settings but it says 3 1/4 turns from closed for the Mid range and 3 1/2 turns from closed for the low end. But what is closed? I dont think that this means from tightened like a tap as the low end was further out than that as it took many turns to close (i.e. show resistance). When I moved the mid range to 3 1/4 from tightened and the low end 3 1/2 turns the throttle would not open. This is why I question what is meant by closed and how can I tell? Gary Yes it did. Mid range 3 1/4 turns from closed and low end 3 1/2 turns from closed, but what is closed? I assume that this does not mean shut like a tap until you feel resistance as it took many turns to close the low end needle. Also when I closed both until i felt a small amount of resistance and then opened them this number of turns the actual throttle would not open. Hence my confusion of what is meant by closed. Thanks again. Gary > Aren't the factory settings in the manual? > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > > > Gary Closed means turn the mixture screw all the way in clockwise. Be careful because you can damage the mixture screw tip. Screw it slowly until you feel some restriction. Don't make it tight. then counter clockwise until you reach the desired setting 3 and a half turns counter clockwise should do it. BTW both lo-end and hi-end mixture screws are the same deal  SignatureRemove *flaps* to reply > Yes it did.

I have done this closing the mid range first then closing the low end and then opening the required number of turns mid range then low end and the throttle does not open as both needles appear to go into each other. Is there a specific way I should do it? i.e. mid range first (close then open) with the throttle open, then the low end for example? Should the throttle be open or closed? Thanks again. Gary |
