J.K Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 If it's just in the carb I'd remove the carb, put it in a plastic container and just pour some nitro fuel through it. I wouldn't think the air filter oil will do too much harm to your engine as long as you remove the bulk of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilstar12 Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 After putting it in the carb.. I turned the engine over a few times. Should I just run the engine very rich with high revvs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tolska Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Air filter oil should not harm you're engine if you get rid of it. Open the carb and tip up side down see if anything comes out. If not put some fuel in to the carb and shake a little then tip upside down again by doing this your mixing the fuel with the oil which will eventually make the ratio so that the oil just won't exist after mixing. After you done this. Run your engine on a block or such, hold TR at half way for a while to get the fuel circulating though the oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 6 drops of air filter oil .... no problem at all. Just start it up as normal, and don't stress. 6 drops isn;t much anyway. Air filter oil is not significantly different in makeup or viscosity to air filter oil so it shouldn't block jets or clog up the needles. Unless you poured a load in, the engine won't care. Clean the carb out with fresh nitro fuel if it won't start, but I doubt it will be a problem at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
