Nothing drives me more crazy than stalling, also called "flameout". This kind
of issue can drive you nuts, especially if you're somewhat new to nitro. The
good news is: nitro engines are actually pretty simple and there's not a whole
lot to go wrong.

RC Driver. This article is a good
reason to subscribe to a quality mag such as this. |

Greg's tips are terrific, but I think he left out a couple of additional
small things that need attention if you're having stalling issues:
 | Carb needs cleaning - small pieces of debris get in carb (restricting fuel
flow), most often from pieces of the small o-rings getting torn off as we
adjust the HSN and LSN. Take the carb off, dis-assemble, clean thoroughly and
re-assemble. THIS IS ALWAYS ONE OF MY FIRST SUSPECTS, right after checking
basics, such as glow plug................... |
| Tuned pipe - the pressure nipple on the pipe can get clogged. This can
cause a lean bog and/or stall. Blow out the pressure nipple with compressed
air |
