Im in Wisconsin. I talked to a guy at Hobbico as well. I told him how it was running, he put me on hold for a minute, when he came back he told me to send them my ignition.
This is a copy of the letter I send along with my ignition.
Steve

per phone conversation I have enclosed my ignition module from my Octane. The engine will not rev and get on the pipe, I have adjusted the carb per the leaflet, and beyond. After break in I was able to get it to shift a few times into second but never 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] gear. It progressively got worse. The truck has maybe 4 tanks it does run just not well enough to get the truck to shift The truck would die once and a while But would always restart. The top of the piston looks new and wet with no burn pattern on like its been idle around for a week. The truck cold would usually start after one choked pull and then no choke. Warm it would take a half dozen.
