ORIGINAL: rcmate

i know the high speed needle was messed with even before i got it breaking in, and i went to set it back but this doesnt sound right, tirn fully clockwise and 3 trins counter-clockwise, should i folow that , or thestratcat can u tell me what i sohuld do in your boook?

after I broke the first pipe.. I got wiser.. take something small like a screwdriver, put the shaft into the hole... I found a small file just to make sure that there wasn't any flashing left, the pipe had a bit, but I got it scraped out pretty good. Oh yeah, blow through it to get the chunks of junk out of it...

also, I'm thinking I started break in for mine at about 2 1/2 or 2 3/4 turns out.. the three turns was entirely too rich for where I'm at..


other than that, if we can't help you here, get in touch with HPI... they were great with my problems, we trouble shot it over the phone and email, finally I told them, look, I ain't getting anywhere, it's heading to you, they issued the RMA number and took it in to work on..

I'd say mail it off only after you've tried everything else..
