X Series CARB order tonight!!!

[savagekiller]

Still running the stock carb.... And hating my life. Idle is wack, was running good for about half a tank, took a pretty good tumble, hit the breaks... And the idle started freaking out! Sounded like an air leak, idle went up and down and the just died. I'm just done playing with this carb.


I mostly bash, but would like to get into racing, don't know if there is a carb that's better for racing...? Any suggestions??? Looked through the threads, and see a lot of posts for the 990 is that the way to go? Ultimately I'll take reliability over speed.


Need some help soon so hopefully I can get an order out tonight.

The 990 is the way to go. It a little hard to start in the winter, but you will figure it out.

Gonna get the aluminum intake and Teflon gaskets... Do I need any other gaskets....??? I'm trashing my stock gaskets.

+1 on the 990

Also, get the aluminum intake (I think GTB racing) with the lip on the edge for the same price (not the ada, it might deform the teflon gasket).

 

[savagekiller]

Cheapest place to get these would be????

I have been having the same thing happen to my xt, and tonight broke the pull starter rope. I ordered a 990 from Gizmomotors, a belt drive from RCDAD, and a wire pull start cable from ddm. Spending so much on this truck, but I can't complain having so much fun with it.

I hear ya man, I'm trying not to add up all these orders... I'd probably crap myself.

Thanks everyone, just placed my order..... Question. The Teflon gaskets take the place of all the stock gaskets, right? Ordered the gtb intake.

They will replace the intake gaskets. You will still have one paper gasket between the carb and stack.

 

[savagekiller]

If it is bad, can I fabricate one... Out of???

You could use gasket paper. You can get it at any auto parts store. Should last a while, too.

 

[savagekiller]

Sweet, thanks.

Having trouble starting now. Installed the 990 and aluminum intake. I'm sure there are no air leaks. Is there a easy way to get it started initially. Pulled a couple times, and nothing. Pushed throttle forward and pulled, still nothing. Any tips, gonna try again in the morning?

Did you set the needles to the base settings?

 

[Deluge]

Put a few drops of fuel down the spark plug hole. Should start within 3 pulls.

 

[savagekiller]

Just checked the needles, they were a little off out of the box, so I reset them. Dropped some fuel through the spark plug hole... And it started the first pull!!! You guys are awesome. Thanks!

I prime with a few drops of gas every time i start these chokeless carbs. in cold weather you may find the engine lighting up for a second then dying agan. its running out of fuel. just open the low speed fuel needle - counter clockwise a little bit, about 2 or 3 minutes - degrees. then reset after it idles -warms up. You may have people suggest to install a choke plate between the carb and velocity stack. don:t do it. they will leak and suck dust.

Glad you got it fired up.
