PLLLLEEEEAAASSSEEEE Help. Just finished breaking-in my Genesis (14th tank by now) and the thing just does'nt shift to 3rd gear.
It is 8 & 1/2 turns out already. Motor is pretty lean -HSN 3 & 1/4 turns out.
It shifts to 2nd at around 25-35 feet from standstill (I think that is good).
Crying out to Jadda, Jected, Aluminum C, Genesis Twin and all those expert folks out there.
I also broke both sides of the steering link to the steering rods (tirnbuckles) on 2 separate tiny jumps. That really sucks b/c if that happened with such a tiny jump by going from street to grass, can't imagine what'll happen at the track... any suggestions as to what is fragile and might as well replace it for a better thing before it breaks?
Thanks all.
Hi abonnet.
Are you sure that it is second gear it shift to? not third? Do like this: Screw the set screws all the way in on the 3rd gear clutch, then test drive your truck and see if you are hitting second gear. If it shifts into second then start to tune for third gear a good starting point should be 7 turn out, but must important is that you unscrew both screw equal.
I think new era has an option for the steering link check it.
