No, the carbs are losing their prime because there's no tank pressure. The diaphragm pumps on the carbs depend on intake pulses to function, and at high rpm the pulses are too close together to provide sufficient volume. That's why you have run a line from the muffler to pressurize the tank. This is done on a lot of RC planes as well for the same reason.

It would actually reduce the engine RPM; plus he's already burning out clutches on the flywheel he has, so this might not be a good idea. The comments above about pressurizing the fuel tank with the exhaust is probably an easier solution and won't require any additional modification. Seems to me like the system is losing fuel flow to the dual carb setup in a tilted position which is very indicative of low fuel pressure.
@Kettletrigger
23 күн бұрын
@@someonesomewhere_777 A heavier flywheel will not reduce engine RPM. It WILL slow engine response due to more inertia, which is why a lightened flywheel is a common performance modification. The downside to a light flywheel is a tendency for the engine to lose RPM quickly...sometimes so quickly that it dies. Which is what might be happening here. Slowing engine response will not hurt the clutch. If anything, it will increase clutch life due to more gradual changes in RPM. Johnny has a lathe and a mill - adding weight to the flywheel shouldn't be a big deal (if that in fact is the problem).

At first I was worried JohnnyQ90 wasn't devulging that he is sponsored by Toyan or Sterling Kit, and that he actually gets all these engines for free. You're supposed to let people know if you're sponsored. To be honest, though, I think these videos have made me want these small engines less and less the more of them I see. Imagine spending $1700 on this "supercharged" V8, plus everything else needed to get it to run (and even more if in an RC chassis), and the thing just breaks almost immediately because of terrible manufacturing and tolerances. I'll stick with enjoying watching someone else spend tons of money on getting them to work right.

Those engines seem on the surface really awesome but I can tell they break catastrophically really easy, the tolerances in the machining process are probably not good at all even though it "looks" good. Being sold extra attachments like superchargers that actually hinder and hurt the motor instead of actually giving more power. You would have to have a bunch of expendable income and enjoy this as a hobby because these motors seem like they're really low quality and horribly made and unreliable.

I'd add a baffled fuel cell to the list too, maybe put some foam in there and or make something custom with a baffled swirl pot built into it, the sort of thing you see on drag cars. The sudden direction changes and inertia were visibly causing the fuel to climb up the side of the tank which as the fuel goes down are probably starving the feed line.

I agree with a lot of these comments about the stalling issue. I’m leaning towards the idea that was mentioned about the clutch being still engaged while the car comes to a complete stop. That would definitely stall my car at least. That also probably played a roll in the clutch breaking. If it’s a fuel issue though, my suggestion is try a bigger fuel line, and a carb bowl if they don’t already have one. The bigger line will keep it from hydro locking, and the bowl will help with whatever air still gets through. As for the super charger I’m on team solid rotors lol. Those have to be one, solid, smooth piece to get rid of the slap. They have way too much wiggle being three pieces each. In other news; line lock? Totally unnecessary and would probably destroy the transmission but man would it be cool if it worked. Just sitting there roasting the tires and then turning it off and peeling away. As always, love the video. Keep up the awesome work, and I can’t wait for the next one.

My guess is rotor shaft flex and the tolerances of the supercharger synchro gears: -That tri-lobe rotor looks to be a 3D ratio, with 3 segments I doubt it has the rigidity to stay straight under boost. -The synchro gears would need to have insanely tight tolerances and sub tenth backlash to maintain the lobe seal with such small gears/rotors. Even operating with a wet seal design. -If you do decide to make your own rotors, may I suggest a helical tri-lobe.

The comment about the tank needing to be pressurized is correct. They flow a lot of fuel at WOT, and the diaphragm pumps in the carbs can't keep up with it unless you have some tank pressure.

It would be interesting to spin the supercharger at operating RPM without the engine, to see how much air it moves. I think these tiny engines are too small for forced induction to work properly. And I think the tolerances are probably just good enough for them to run, I think any substantial level of boost would bend things or just end up being lost as blow by. I'd love to be proven wrong, though. "2 Stroke Stuffing" gets an astounding amount of power out of a 50cc engine, but that's only one cylinder, and it's actually designed for vehicular use.

I think the stalling is many things at the same time. - low torque at low rpm. You either need to have the clutch slip or do a burnout to maintain enough engine rpm. Your lose all speed forward which forces the wheels to stop. You don't have enough gears in the gearbox to help keep the engine rpm. - add some baffles in the tank - consider some exhaust to add fuel pressure. Great video. But maybe not so great for the supplier of the compressor. It did have issues even before you installed it, being silent in only one direction. They need to step up their manufacturing quality and testing.
