Whoever told you that you should do it yourself and not come here is what my country cousins would call "throwed off".

How the hell else are you going to learn? And what's the difference between asking here, and asking another modeler at the field? You're still going to make the adjustment yourself; you just need to to know HOW.

I, for one, applaud your desire to learn as much as you can. In today's world of $100 plug'n'play park fliers, too many hambones with short attention spans are infesting our hobby. They don't want to learn anything; they just want to 'have fun'...

Keep asking those questions. The data base of collective knowledge here is immense.


BTW, I'm not familiar with your Evo engine, so that's why I didn't offer any advice. But it certainly does sound like a leak through the front end. The remedy depends upon whether it is a bushed or a bearinged engine.
