Exactly. Good point.Trip.. said:Carb settings mean very little. You could have the needles out 3 turns but if you have an air leak, it will still run lean.
I like nitro's, as well. But I don't miss the glow plugs!jeffp83 said:Hehe. I still like the nitro's (own 3 of them) but the fuel is too darn expensive and you can blow through a gallon easily in a day of running. And glow plugs are stupidly expensive.Love these gassers though! Should just go to a 4-bolt zenoah, I think that would solve the majority of the issues i've had
Yeah that may be the best for you.jeffp83 said:True... i'm kind of scratching my head now as to what happened. I am for sure that I didn't have an airleak as I know what the engine sounds like when that happens. Going to grab a new carb as well, just in case. Maybe I will just go back to nitro, this may sound crazy but i've had less problems with those little engines than I have had with gas (plating failures, gasket blowouts, bad bearings and now a seize) lol.
Haven't taken apart the crankcase halves yet, but yeah i'm going to replace the bearings for sure... wouldn't want to chance that.Deluge said:Probably would have to replace the bearings and seals, as well. There has to be shavings in the crank case.
Yeah, it would suck to kill an engine that way. I always enjoy engine builds! What cylinders are you looking at?jeffp83 said:Haven't taken apart the crankcase halves yet, but yeah i'm going to replace the bearings for sure... wouldn't want to chance that.I'm just going to sell off that DS head and go for a 36mm cylinder.
Glad to hear you got her runn'n!jeffp83 said:Got this engine going, all i will say is holy crap i am never going back to a 26 again on a side note, i switched back to a full flywheel and i can't believe how much forced air you lose from running those lightened ones.
