Thought I would ask you guys opinion on this as the local guys don't seem to have an opinion.

I think the Picco 28 finally gave up It still rips, but as soon as it goes to idle it dies. The clutch is super smooth with new bearings. I can't see anything wrong with it. Still has pinch when cold. And I can still start it when hot, but it takes about 10 seconds, acts more like it was starved for fuel even after richening it 3/4 turn. But there is not much, if any compression when hot. ABout the only thing I can think of is to tighten down my clutch hopeing that somehow it came loose and is enguageing at low rpms. This all started in the Main last Sunday at a local track, stalled at least 5 times in the main, but runs great when not ideling. I did try increasing the idle, but the same. the 2 seconds it does idle it sounds OK, not to fast or slow. Any ideas before I toss it? I really wanted 2 RTR trucks for ROAR, but this kinda puts a stop to that.

Note I am running the Orion V6 clutch, so I can adjust it. Haven't had time to try yet.

Thanks guys
