hehe, tru dat - I went to my first THRC race Saturday
Also try Cy Fair hobbies on the Beltway and up at the Woodlands - I believe they're open and would have a basic part like that, though they are mostly a plane shop.
Would a leaking manifold cause the line pressure to drop so much that the only way an engine would run with any power would be to lean it way out?
The engine did run leaned out but ran too hot and I'm replacing the piston and sleeve. If a piston and sleeve were cooked would the engine still...
heh, that actually does sound like most of the LHS workers I've had the pleasure of meeting in the last few days. I had to practically grab a guy by his collar this morning to get him to get some fuel for me from behind the counter - he didn't already know my name so obviously I wasn't a...
I'm happy to say that I got it all worked out. Ditching the extra fuel line and fuel filter did the trick. I'm not sure if it was faulty or just throwing it off enough to magnify a problem I already had, but with a short line from tank to carb it runs again. It's not perfect yet but I'm...
I've been "bench racing" this truck of mine for a while now and finally today I got all the parts and pieces I needed to get it running (busted radio). On the stand the engine was running fine, idling a whole tank at a time with the wheels on the ground. Manually moving the servo I could get...
Gotcha - I just couldn't figure out why I didn't see a single one with a filter on it - I'll have to figure a place out because I do run it in dusty conditions. Will fuel tubing melt if it has to go around the heat sink?
I tried putting a fuel filter on my GT last night and couldn't find a good place to secure it, so I went to Google images and looked at all the GT's I could dig up - almost all of them were sans filter. Is there something about the GT that makes filters tough to install or did I just see a bad...
Thanks for the replies - all stuff I basically never knew. Is it going to make a difference that the charger I was given is a BC 48 instead of a BC 112? If .2 amps is the best rate for this pack, should I use the trickle charge (.2A) ?
Thanks again!
LarryA - did you ever try the computer power supply? I've got a spare 250w here out of a computer I just overhauled - 12vdc/8a... wondering if it could do the same thing.
