thunder tiger EB4 S3
 

Hi guys
just bought a second hand one of these For £50.Its is as new condition,but it doesnt run properly ay all.It is fitted with the .28 pro bxr engine,and i think the previous owner has messed about with the carb settings.
Does anyone know the base settings for this engine???,ive googled it and have so many different settings im completely lost.
I guess that the lsn should be 6.5 turns from stop,and the hsn should be 2.5 turns from stop with a 1mm idle gap.The engine wont even start with this,HELP,Nitro noob btw :cry:
thanks

For starters..does it have compression?, is the glow plug filament glowing? is the fuel getting through the carb into the engine?

Hi.
The engine has good compression,and i tested the glow plug which works fine.I did check the fuel lines for leaks and any air bubbles,and is is bubble free and the fuel is getting to the carb too.I installed an inline filter and have double checked its the right way round and fuel does flow through it.Some tines the car will start,but dies when i move the lever on the hand set.
This is why i think the settings are all out of wack on the carb.
The thunder tiger info on thier main website says 6.5 turns for lsn,2.5 for hsn and a 1mm gap for the idle screw setting. the engine doesnt like starting and wont idle for long at these settings.I have heard if you lean it out to much it can damage the engine,which is why im asking about the right carb settings :blush:.

6.5 turns on the lsn sounds like a long way out to me i would of maybe started around 3 turns from what you are saying the engine is doing it sounds very rich, omoho.

Ok thankyou.
Ill try the lsn setting and will let you know.
cheers
