Just installed a new engine, but have issues and questions. I've been trying to break this engine in, but I can't seem to get it up to temp. Two tanks now and under 150 for both. All I have access to is 20% nitro. Could this be my problem? Would using a hotter plug help out? I'm currently having radio issues and somehow got stuck at full throttle I think. It was definitely high rpm. Luckily it was when I was checking temp so I managed to grab it and hold down on ground to stop wheels and plugged pipe with finger but it worries me considering it's never even made temp yet. I have no doubt that it smoked the clutch shoes which brings me to next question. I have transferred my savage 25 clutch assembly over to this engine. Probably not sufficient. I would love suggestions. Any suggestions of what I should change on my 25 to accommodate this larger engine would actually be greatly appreciated. Gearing info, flywheel, shoes, bell, anything else you can think of. Transmission suggestions? Thank you!
