Hello and thank you for taking the time to read this post.
A few months back I purchased a HoBao RTR Cage Nitro car and had a few problems getting it started when it first arrived so naturally, I took it to my local RC shop and asked them for help and they turn the tuning needles and managed to get it running which I thought was great. I ran 2 tanks of fuel with the car as it still required breaking in but noticed that there was always smoke coming out of the engine surly this isn't good for a new engine as if it was running lean.
I got it back out the other day after a few months and was looking in the manual to see if it could help me and I did however stumble across the factory settings for the carb. I was wondering if you guys think I should reset them to factory and see how it runs then, but then what if it doesn't run at all then. It also states in the manual that because it's a 28. engine it should be running on a 30% Nitro mix but the shop said that an 18% mix would do. I am confused at what fuel I am to use also.
I hope you can help and I'm happy to give more information if needed.
Thank you.
