Inferno st us problem

ARGINITE

Inferno st us.
Bought this as an xmas present for myself.
Anyways I rant it in as instructed in the manual [using 10%] and all was great.
I brought it out today with a few other friend and all was well until I ran out of 10% fuel, I then used some of my friends 20%, the truck then started to cut out every so often for what seemed like no real reason. It wasn't running to lean as then was a constant trail of white smoke coming from it and it left a good cloud of smoke when accelerating quickly but it seemed like it was over heating.
It also started to blow bubble back into the fuel tank, which I think was caused by fuel evaporating in the card and being forced back into the fuel tank. Is their a way to stop this?

Any help would be great as this is my first nitro model, so I'm pretty clueless.

You have the carb tuned to run on 10% of whatever kind of fuel your using.
Try turing the highspeed back about 1/2 turn and see what happens if you plan on running 20% fuel from now on. Generally the higher the nitro the higher the tempeture the engine will operate at.
How many tanks are gone through it?

ARGINITE

Of the 10% about 8 tanks, 4 of those were just to run it in properly. Of the 20% about 2 tanks.

Ok ill give that a go and see how it runs.
Thanks for the advice.
Any more advice would be great.

4 tanks won't run in an engine. 10+ tanks is normal. I would recommend you keep running the 10% for maybe another 10 tanks until the engine is loose and then go on to 20%

ARGINITE

Ok thanks I didn't know that from reading the manual I taught it was 4 tanks. I will run 10% for a while longer.
Thanks plug.

Manufactors always say about 4-5 but thats not really true. Just run the 10% for a little while longer.

ARGINITE
