Another way to stop a nitro engine is to let my friend tune it. Might stop so hard that it’s permanent lol

I use both methods but always make sure it's at BDC to cool. Good tip for those that don't know.

I do the same, also mark the flywheel with a Dremel grind mark when I put clutch on motor. Thanks Adam

I used a yellow paint marker on mine because I didn't want to possibility effect the balance.

@@kevin_1979 I'm only taking just enough to see it, I wouldn't worry about it effecting the balance, not enough to even weigh.

What about pinching the fuel line? I heard it's bad to because it leans out the fuel and could hurt the lubrication of the engine.

I always pinch the fuel line. In fact it has a clip that is always closed until I open it. I have never had a problem in 25 years…

What about pinching the fuel line? This is a good tip from a pro and will give this a go cheers.

Yes, this will work as well, but I don't like running the engine dry personally.

what's about turning the glowplug loose slightly and tightening it down again?

Hi Adam, I was wondering what is the best way to get the residual fuel out of the engine when you are all done running?

@AdamDrake 3 ай бұрын

You can run it out of fuel by idling the engine, but I don't prefer this method because it's basically running the engine dry. I just stop the engine and then use our after run oil.

@@AdamDrake oh yea, you don’t have to worry about the bit of fuel in the engine if you put after run oil in, I did not know that. Thanks Adam 😊

Last run of day should always shut off by pinching fuel feed line to ensure most of the fuel left in motor is burned. Nitro fuel is methanol based and hydroscopic. Any unburned fuel left in motor will absorb water and will eventually begin to corrode components.

I use the flywheel method. If I dont have the rubber stop tool, i'll use my walking stick. I personally dont like to use my finger as I have in the past hurt my fingers from the flywheel rubbing skin away.

Very nice!

I use the heel of my sneaker. On a runaway turn it over dump the tank if you can’t use your heel. No skin anywhere near the flywheel!

This video was intended for general use and shutting off an engine at idle. During a runaway, always use a stopper un the tuning driver or rock.

This is related but different, i think we all need to tech the new guys and electric only guys how to safely stop a run away. I don't know how many times I've seen new guys grab it to marshal it and the car is screaming and they throw it down and cue circus music.
