I'm sure it's probably a tuning issue or something, but I don't know what else to try at this point. I have a TRM in one of my spectra's and it's running with a hanson tuned pipe. It will easily start when cold, but after it's run, even just a 20 second idle, I just can't re-start it until it's cooled off for a while.

Any thoughts?

Idle to lean? I could be very wrong.

Most likely the idle needle is too rich. I bet after the model starts, stumbles and then quits when originally started. Attempts at re-starting would be futile. Try to lean the bottom needle a bit at a time to get it to start. The idle should be set with the throttle trim, but the idle should be only slightly ragged. Tune to the bottom needle so that the RPM picks up to max, and then richen it back until the idle gets only slightly ragged and heavy but yet smooth. The plug may also be fouling due to the rich condition. How much oil are you using??

Later,

I'm using 2 oz per gallon, thanks for the tips!
