Status: offline 		  hi guys today i was driving my rampage xt and had a half full tank but it all ran out in about 20-25 minutes i was putting more gas in there but i saw that there were some gas dripping from the air filter i took the sponges off the air filter coming from -i guess-  there is a thing that opens and closes when you turn choke on and off some yellow or goldenish thing i guess that is where the air and the gas meets and there was lots of gas in there. i did some drifting and lots of turns with the car can it be because of that ? need your help guys hope its not a big thing thanks

Status: offline 		www.icloud.com/photostream/#A95oqs3qGDBpaS here are some pics the fuel is coming out from where the choke valve is at. All the air filter sponges was all full of fuel i took them off to check out and saw that the place where the choke valve was full of fuel hope its not important and btw i havent tuned it yet and a full tank goes about 45 minutes and will to much oil in the mixture make any problems?

Status: offline 		how is the compression ? fuel flooding into the air filter is a sign of a bad ring happening .

Status: offline 		I can't tell from those pics...Are you sure it is actual fuel or  the filter oil on the inside of the filter housing? You will have some fuel spray inside the front carb area but from the pics, it doen't look like a problem.

Status: offline 		İ am sure that it is fuel I smelled it and the fuel seemed to be coming out from the choke valve housing or somewhere deeper the pics were taken after it was dry. And the filter sponges were all wet im sure no oil because i havent oiled it and it was completely dry before running but then when i squeezed the sponges there
were lots of fuel in the sponges then i opened it and saw fuel coming from the choke housing
