a-x-l-e Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 (edited) If its the Ansmann engine the High Speed Needle is sticking up verticaly in a brass sleeve at the front of the pic. The Low Speed Needle is horizontal where the throttle linkeage joins the carb, back of pic and the Idle is the opposite side, this side of the pic (I think).

a-x-l-e Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 You will have to take it out and see. If both vehicles have the same engine and plug switch them and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dewis93 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 if its a new engine and its getting stuck at the top thats normal for some engines, warm it up with a hair dryer this will expand the metal and hopefully make it a little easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a-x-l-e Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Free the piston, reset to factory needle setting s and then heat it up again, once you have it running steady it should become a lot easier. If you are stuck for settings look at the link below my sig, I think the AR28 and 21 use a similar base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a-x-l-e Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 (edited) LSN is horizontal, goes through the slide on the carb. You can see it in the front of this pic. Edited December 13, 2009 by a-x-l-e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davee Posted December 13, 2009 Author Share Posted December 13, 2009 thats great thanks for the help would you know why i have to leave the plug charger on to keep yhe engine running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 It's not that unusual under the circumstances. You have a tight engine, runnign a rich micture and the weeather is cold. The glow plug charger shouldn't need to stay on for long once teh motor is broken in and tuned. Remember, your motor is running under far from optimal conditions right now!

minesapint Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Hi davee did you get it running in the end i got my son a ansmann terrier run one tank of fuel through it, but now its very hard to start needs to be pre warm with hairdryer, got same problem as you only way to keep it running is to leave the glow starter in . every time i take it off it stops working new glow plug new glow starter. hsn is 4 turns out or 8 half turns at this rate the pull start will snap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cerbrus2 Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Its not realy Modelsports fault M8. nitros are very fiddly things. Pull start break easy, and because Ansman are budget kits. they tend to put cheaper servos in, just to keep the cost down. Even my .28 SH engine got jammed up after the third tank of running it in. Once I got that unstuck the car was fine again. In the manual for My engine It says if the car keeps cutting out to do the whole run in procces with the glow starter in. Or though once my engine was started I could take it straight off without a problem. And realy on run in you shouldnt even touch the needles on the carb. maybe just a 1/16th turn on the idle screw to help the engine stay running. enougher thing you could try to get them started is to take out the glow plug and put a very small amount of nitro fuel directly into the engine. Also take the air filter off from the carb and make sure their is a 1mm gap with the car and transmitter turned on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
