SO..My GST is alive again!
Yah everything dried from the big swim it took last week, i cleaned out the engine and plasti dipped all the servo's, put everything back together, took it outside and primed it, took about 15 pulls and brumm started right up. .......... BUT it seems like it's not running as fast as it used to? Maybe third gear isn't engaging? So i ran it up and down the road and tuned it as best as i could and it was pissing me off because i know it's faster then this. So i did a couple more high speed runs and then whipped it around and stopped hit the throttle and........ it just sat there reving up and just BARELY moving forward? So after a couple curse words i picked it up and took it back inside, took the rear end off and noticed the yoke on the rear diff had come completely loose, so i reinstalled it and gorilla torqued it back down, i also noticed the brakes were binding up, so i used a little after run oil and a Q tip and wiped the disks and brake components wdown, WOW that fixed it right away, it rolls forward and backwards easy now, no more brake binding so that made me happy.......BUT it seems the carb is loose and it won;t tighten down? Maybe i'm doing something wrong? I reinstalled it again last night and tightened the crap out of it so tight i think i ended up stripping the screw lol SO i haven't run it yet, and i'm HOPING it dosen't come loose again? MAYBE thats why it wasen't as fast because everytime i hit the throttle the whole carb would move, stupid thing! Anyway, when i get off work i'm going to run it agin and HOPEFULLY it works or else i'm going to seriously be pissed, i want to put a video together and test the GSt on the dirt mounds i tested my FG MT on to see how they compair. anyway i'll keep you all updated, hopefully i didn't blow a diff or something? My luck i did! lol
