Re: Help me get this thing to idle!!!

First off, 6039 speeditwin aren’t good motors to test tank.
Set the points to .020, and take it to the lake.
Set high speed first, then slow it down to dial in idle, but don’t expect a speeditwin to be a slow troller.

You will want to run it with the front cover on, unless you want to get sprayed with a fine mist of gas.

Someone has posted the owners manual, somewhere, because I printed it off one time.
Read it a few times, and you can develop your own best method. The 6039s are a motor to be operated, not simply "run"

I have ran 3 diffrent 6039 speeditwins, and all of them run slightly different.
Some faster, start easier, idle better, etc.
