Cutting out at 1/2 tank          OFNA Nitro Talk Back Forum Forum Index -> LD3 View previous topic :: View next topic   Author Message Doggeddie Joined: 16 Dec 2005 Posts: 54 Posted: Wed Feb 01, 2006 4:13 pm    Post subject: Cutting out at 1/2 tank My Ld3 dies around 1/2 tank. I still have the Force .12 in it. Temps are fine. I checked for air leaks on the engine and tank. Everything looks fine. My LHS tech guy took a look at it and could not find any problems. I have tried richer and leaner with no change. The only thing I have noticed is a bit more foaming in the tank than I have seen with my buggy and trucks. My LHS told me the Force .12 is junk and there was nothing that could be done about the problem. I only bought the LD3 to mess around with in my shop and don't want to spend a bunch of money on it. Any suggestions? Back to top Author Message Nightmare Joined: 06 Jan 2006 Posts: 29 Posted: Sun Feb 05, 2006 9:37 am    Post subject: What happens when you only put 1/2 tank of fuel in to start with?

They might be right; the Force .12 is a cheapo engine at $60. The problem could also lie in the LSN/idle settings because those are tricky to get right. Also, after the engine stalls, does it start right back up or do you have to wait for it to cool?
