If you are blowing plugs, add a shim to the cylinder and head space. It might run cooler because of that too if there is less peignition.

Maybe the gears are stripped or a keyway is gone. I am not a 4 stroke buff for sure, never having to take mine apart, but it sounds like you have to open it up a bit anyway to see if the cam turns...

I think it should be fine if stored in good conditions. You should filter it after mixing. Nitro is usually good for a while too. As long as they don't change colour. Methanol is not good for too...

Ya the K&B might be better. At least it's ABC BB. I have never actually seen one here. The LAs are pretty good for weight and power. Just the cost is a bit high for new. I tend to get them for...

You would need a second mortgage anyway. Our popular hobby retailer wants $210 for an AX .46 and $110 CDN for a piston liner. An LA .15 is $150 now. Both are fine motors, but...

We use an 8-6 on our .25s so they rev around 16,000 rpm where they are happiest. The .32 should be revving around that speed too. The old loop scavenged motors could take a bigger prop load. If...

I just had my first flight of the year Wednesday with my LA .15. Great fun, got the adrenaline going at full throttle. My LA .40 will live again even with the small crater that peeled off. I will...

I pick up a couple LA .40s a couple months ago. One was peeled and the backplate fell to pieces. Oh well, another $10 i'll never see again. Extra castor is good. Foxes thrive on it. They wear...

I am pretty sure the XLS would not fit, as it is the newer version. The previous one could maybe. It would be the XL or ASP A or 1 model. Just engines in England would maybe have parts or know about...

Sure, pay less than a muffler, and get more power than an open exhaust, and way more power than a muffler. Not quite the overall power of a real pipe, but a broader range. Gives some metalworking...

Fuel works better than WD 40. Just dribble it everywhere and rock the shaft back and forth slowly till it loosens up. Use a prop and caution and heat if needed. I have never needed heat yet, but...

So you'll grind the path for the boost port in the liner, or the case? Really the FSR is a better candidate, but that would be too easy I guess. More fun trying to get the lipstick on the pig.

Gotta boogie till you bust. Should go real fast with a clean RC plane and a high pitch prop. That was the reference I was thinking of. I wouldn't go with the sub piston induction. A pipe maybe, and...

We had LA .25 racing and there was a 100 mile race every year. 1,400 laps. I am pretty sure they did not need new plating every race. This year it has been changed to LA .15 races with different...

10-6" is standard. 9-7 or 11-4 if you want to faster or slower. Good place to start from.

I think it will be happier with the 8-6" It is in the power band of that motor. Check the measurement of the carb bore on the FSR, FX, AX, and then on the LA and you will see why it runs slower. I...
