Hey everyone, my name is Tristan Turner I'm 26 years old. I am married with 2 babies and I have 2 nitro trucks and I have 2 boats. My first investment was a traxxas nitro rustled and a week later I went to th hobby shop and bought the traxxas revo 3.3. 2 weeks after i bought the trucks I ran up on a deal to buy 2 project boats. One is a 34 inch nitro and the other one was a 54 inch deep v. By the way when I bought all this stuff I didn't and still don't have a clue about any of it lol. Well now I have the big boat almost colmplete with a 26cc zenoah. The nitro boat is still In parts because I don't have a clue what I'm doing when it comes to nitro motors. I'll post a few pics of the boats and the progress I've made with the big boat.

Yes sir. I like it a lot. I've had it running one time but for some reason anytime I hook a fuel line to it the carburetor floods the motor and fuel poors out the muffler. I don't know anything about a nitro motor or carburetor so I just set it on the shelf and I haven't touched it since.

They flood if you don't pinch the line off between runs they make little inline plastic shut offs that pinch the line or they make plastic looking hemostats that people use

The fuel tank could be too high. feel free to see if you can lower it.
Jeff is dead on.. a fuel line pinch is a good idea.

One note about nitro boats. They DO NOT idle like a RC car.. your engine will likely load up and need to be burped often with the throttle. If the engine idles clean.. its lean.

HAVING SAID THIS.. that's not the case with all marine setups.. but Its a good rule of thumb.

Be well

So you can't let the boat sit

Thank yall! I will definitely pull it off the shelf and start looking back into it. I didn't know that they don't like idling. And it hasn't ran long enough for me to tell if it's lean or not...
