i think one of the major causes of loss of power is the bad exhause gasket....as mentioned in the other thread.....i took it apart and saw there was only a small piece of rubber left....so im guessing that is causing the engine to lean out a lot without the extra power....because i can tune the motor leaner and the front end "tries" to come up, but my heat levels get very high very quickly....also im sure this would effect the back pressure and pressure in the gas tank as well....

also a servo went bad on me.....it seemed like any type of resistance on it makes the motor jam and make noises.....are these repairable? or should i just get a new one? i took it apart and all the gears are in tact with no damage...so im guessing its the actual motor...
