I haven't been able to run it to worry about installing a kill switch. Redcat doesn't know what's wrong, but they are sure it's not the carb because they say they have never had one go bad.Ice_2k said:Did you ship it to Redcat? Or how do they know it's not the carb? And what are they saying is the problem?
BertR recommended a great carb (wt990) but you'll need to know how to start it knowing it doesn't have a choke. If unsure, the simple easy alternative would be a wt668. Or if you are looking for the wt990 performance with a choke you can get a wt1107.BertR said:Forget spending the money to have a small engine mechanic do work on it and telling you it's the carb.. You will be in it for the labor and a new carb! Just bite the bullet and get a wt990 carb.. I can almost guarantee that the carb is no good.
That's the motor I run in my DR after throwing the stocker.blak__jak said:you know you could take the motor out and ship just it. there's no way that would be 250 to ship but if it was me and I had to spend any where near that kind of cash I'd put it toward a new motor and use the old one to practice up on my small engine repair skills. in fact ddm's deal of the week would work just fine. 199.00 http://www.davesmotors.com/zenoah-g290rc-engine-966669901-4-bolt-topend-g290-290.html
I tried to say, what if i just shipped the motor back. And the response was we need the entire truck in order to diagnose the issue.....blak__jak said:you know you could take the motor out and ship just it. there's no way that would be 250 to ship but if it was me and I had to spend any where near that kind of cash I'd put it toward a new motor and use the old one to practice up on my small engine repair skills. in fact ddm's deal of the week would work just fine. 199.00 http://www.davesmotors.com/zenoah-g290rc-engine-966669901-4-bolt-topend-g290-290.html
My thoughts exactlyIce_2k said:That sounds a lot like "we know you won't pay $250 in shipping, so asking for the entire truck will ensure you leave us alone".....
thanks for the help, everyone on this board has been very helpful.RampageHopUps said:I will look around to see if I still have new carbs from 36cc engines that you can try.
I grabbed one of the 36cc take off' when you and Hill were doing them and it was a good carb..still wish I had purchased a 36ccRampageHopUps said:I will look around to see if I still have new carbs from 36cc engines that you can try.
