realybigdave Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 just been for a bash with my nitro and was doing some jumps on a bmx track and when I brought the car back in to refule I found the airfilter had come off. After I got home I totally rebuilt and cleaned the engine and made a fairly half arsed effort to clean the carb I must admit simply pouring fuel through the intake side while moveing the slide.. put it back together started right up and ran great for about half a tank and then it just stalled for no reason.. attempted a few more times still cuts out seems to be after a few seconds of idle or after I apply small amounts of throttle I think I have to fully tear down the carb and clean it to fix my issue but im just wondering if anyone has run into this problem and could give me some advice?

Thedrum2010 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 You could check that you haven't disturbed your idle setting. If all else fails revert to factory settings and take it from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherry Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Is everything nice and tight when you put it back together? No leaking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realybigdave Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 I put it all back together and it seemed to be nice and tight still has the same compression idle still could be a bit small I guess... I will strike her up 2moz and see how it goes I just don't see how for half a tank it can run fine?? anyways I have just stripped and cleaned the carb and as soon as I got the engine I sealed the carb and backplate but they no longer are as I have no sealant I will just see how it goes 2moz and take it from there it should just be something simple but I can get how it can just cut out even while revving more than idle and then starting back up when I do it and do the same.. I will figure it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
