How do you lean out a nitro engine?
Turn clockwise to lean out or add air and counterclockwise to richen or add fuel. The low-end needle controls idling and low speeds. The high-end needle controls how the engine accelerates and runs at high speed and has a greater effect on engine temperature.
How do you adjust a low speed needle?
If the idle adjustment is not at fault, then the low speed mixture needs to be adjusted. Start by turning the low-speed needle (or single needle adjustment screw) all the way clockwise until it stops, be sure to not tighten this screw down. Next turn the screw counter-clockwise 2 1/2 turns.
How can I make my Nitro RC faster?
If you are running 20% nitro in your engine you can easily increase top speed by increasing the nitro content of your fuel. As you increase fuel percentage, you may have to adjust the head shims under your heat sink head accordingly. The higher the nitro content the more shims you need to install.

What temperature should my nitro engine be?
How Hot Should A Nitro Rc Car Run? To get the perfect temperature for your nitro engine, adjust the air/fuel mixture accordingly. Usually your engine reaches 225-250 degrees Fahrenheit with this blend. The risk of damaging your nitro engine is a lot greater after you have exceeded 250 degrees.
What does high speed needle do?
The high speed needle is used to meter fuel burnt at moderate RPM to wide open throttle (WOT). The two needles in conjunction provide precise fuel/air mixture throughout the engine’s power band. To adjust the needles you either lean or richen their fuel flow.
Where is the low speed needle?
The low-speed mixture screw is located in the end of the throttle shaft. The low speed mixture affects the idle quality and the low end engine power and throttle response. To check your low speed mixture setting, perform this simple test.
