Engine warms then dies
Okay, I have a .16 Neo Megatech engine, maybe 1/2 gallon thru it, so I have no problem starting it or even getting it going, but my problem is after it warms up it starts to idle rough then dies (unless I rev the engine). So today, I just ran it in circles at very low speeds and once it got over 200 degress it died. Any suggestions?

RE: Engine warms then dies
It sounds like the compression is gone
Sorry if it's true,
Check if you have any compression when it's warmed up versus when it cold
If you can turn the engine over with the flywheel real easily, the piston/cylinder is toast.
Only 1/2 gallon? Gees I hope I'm wrong
If it still feels like it has compression, it might be an air leak, so dig deap before you spend any moola. Good luck
