Volcano s30 HELPPP!
Ok, sh. 18 I just hopped up my s30Ran it for a couple days trying find tune. Ran it again today and it runs for about 10 mins gets super hot and starts smoking from the cooling head, then eventually loses complete power to the wheels and throttle bogs down until shutoff. I'm currently using np/ g20 racing fuel. Any info is appreciated

Needle settings are WAY too lean. If the engine isn't toast, try opening your big needle a full turn and the idle mixture a half turn or so and try again. Try pulling the glow plug out before running it again and post a clear picture of the end of the plug where the coil of wire is. This will give a good indication of how the engine was running last.
I would also suggest getting an infrared temperature gun (thermometer) to keep an eye on your engine temp. If your engine is running hotter than 275F, it's WAY too lean. When it's set right, it should run all day long at 210-240F. I'm not necessarily an advocate for tuning to a certain temperature, but the 210-240F range is very suitable for most engines. Higher end engines will run on the low end of that range.
