I have a savage 4.6 and it takes me around an hour or so to get running. I can never run a tank. Every time I go to run it, there is a massive re tuning involved. Sometimes it will start and run then die and I can't get it running again. I have never been able to get a full tank through. Very frustrated any help would be great.

Could be several things causing your problem, bad glow plug, mistuned mixtures,idle gap not correctly set,or an air leak are the most common... read up on the threads about tuning and mixture settings and also the threads on sealing an engine.....
use the search function to locate the threads as it is very late and I am too tired to make links

It's a new plug new igniter I have read lots and lots of stuff. It doesn't make sense why it would run then when it dies why it would be almost a full turn out of tune. Most the time it won't even start even from factory settings. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but I'll be dammed if I can think of what it is. Thanks for the reply.

Sorry I forgot a comma there. New plug, and fresh charged ignighter. The screws are right abs don't seem to be moving. This isn't my first nitro vehicle in not a complete neophyte to the hobbie.
