Default RE: volcano s30 carb adjustment


ORIGINAL: steamfitter602

I did mean the barrel slid over. I think I got the screw back in like you said but I also tried adjusting the high and low needle after breaking in the motor. it was very fat out of the box wich was good for break in but caused it to be sluggish and bog down when going from idle to full throttle. is there a way to reset the high and low needles? Im new to gas rc but on larger engine you can usually adjust all the way in and count turns back out to get a starting point.
There are different opinions on the how many turns out question. You will find 3.5 to 4 turns out to be most common on the forum. Personally I run the needles out unlit they are just beyond flush with the sleave they are in. Get it good and rich, then it's easy from there to adjust in as necessary.
