Problems getting LRP engine to run

[Lonsdale]

Hi
I have a .21 lrp nitro engine with r5 glow plug running on 25% byron fuel , i have got the h/s and l/s screws , at factory setting
It starts up fine , but as soon as you blip the throttle it dies , i have tried riching the l/s screw, but it makes no different ,
Im constantly starting it up on the starter box , and it then stalls.

Any advice would be grateful ,

Not sure how new your engine is but normally I would warm the engine up with a hairdryer and try and get engine upto temp first. It's also worth leaving the glow starter on if the engine is cold or new to help keep it running to start with.

Try watching this video as it's very useful showing you which way your engine is and how to tune it ready but this is based on an engine that is broken in

try a new/different glow plug

my helis suffer this a while idle fine then as you increase revs it dies ,out,try messing with carb settings with no effect , new plug and hey presto !!

also look for air leaks at carb loose pinch bolt or o ring seal

noo guarantees of cure just my experience
