volcano s30 carb adjustment
I have a new volcano s30. I sucsessfully completed the 5 tank break in process.The next time i went to use the the truck the Idle was out of control. I found that the carb needle screw for the idle had vibrated loose and the carb had actually slid over inside the barrell. how do i get all the needle screws back to a "default" position so I can star over?

RE: volcano s30 carb adjustment
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.

RE: volcano s30 carb adjustment
Thanks for the help. I'll give that a try and let you know how it goes. Hopefully the idle adjustment screw doesnt come loose again. I was lucky to find it in the bottom of the chasis! Thanks again
