LEE69 Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 I havnt got 2 years but i have 18 years self car mechanics. The only way an engine will increase is a higher mixture of air/fuel. Seeing as you have a 1mm gap,id say you have an air leak,maybe on the carb manifold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duff Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 woow souds like its bit nuts there then mate, any way getting on topic have you checked the fuel line for leaks also check around the pull start to see if air is escapeing there and any other places you can think of.

Tamiyacowboy Posted April 28, 2005 Author Share Posted April 28, 2005 please i have no leaks this is a nearly new truck like i mentioned this is a roto start truck also stuff it the blasted thing can stay on teh shelf with the broken rc18t now i make vid an you can see what i mean this is a new truck like i said and only had one an half ltr of fuel through it TC admin or mods please lock this topic thanks TC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duff Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 (edited) if its new then its even more likey to have an air leak go round the engine and check all the bolts/scwews are nice n tight also cheack the fuel line for holes and even if you cant see any replace the fuel line beacuse it can get minute holes.

waz Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 I know you want the topic locked, and no I don't have 2 years experiance but the only way the truck could be going WOT with the carb 1mm open is an airleak. Look VERY closely at the crack for a hairline crack, relseal all the engine using silicone, check all fixtures.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
