RE: Problem with evolution 26 gt2 !!!
I did that in 1985. Thanks for being concerned. I went on to be a warranty director for a large Motorsport manufacturer in the US for the last 10 years of my career. I always love it when people react the way you have when they have no idea of someone’s background. I have sat through product liability cases. I have sat through class action suits, I am not a lawyer but I have been through the procedure a few times. Since this has no productive end I will let you believe what you want to believe. Have a nice day.....

Well Sir, I guess we all have opinions. You have just stated yours. Nothing that I posted is bad information. Everything that I posted is factual. Everything that I posted is common knowledge for any 1st year engineering student. Its not very complex............ I am sorry that you dont agree.

Seems a rather classic case of "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing."

The other reason for problem free running is that you rev your engines well in their design range, know how to adjust them and how to cool them.

I love "qualified" answers--which exclude actual use of the product. They miss the key point -
Experience with the product.
As for lawyers -
That should help----
if the lawyer has a background (actual experience) in applications of oils -with THIS particular engine .
FWIW I have had a few of the MVVS/ Evolutions -which came with the recommended oils and that is what I used -and even with the thrashing I gave em - they continue to run well - no additional bearing clearnce (how do I know?) -easy you record and compare prop movement at TDC hot n cold and th pistons are smoothly polished in viewing occasionally when changing to another model.
The factory advice has proven to me , to be spot on.

Lawyers -like Doctors or Ditchdiggers - will take the job and charge you--IF they can actually do the job- is another matter .
Some can- some can't.
Also , some know more about the issue than you do - some don't.
Spend yer money and take yer chance---
I am not a cynic-just have had a lot of experience with good ones and --not so good ones .

RE: Problem with evolution 26 gt2 !!!
I found out the problem It was I had a two line system . one going to the carb and one plugged with a plug. What was happening was the engine would build pressure in the tank and quit and run rich !! When I would take the plug out or the fule line off the carb fuel would spit all over . So I un plugged the line and have run 3 tanks fully out with no problems and the plug was perfect!!
Thanks for your help !! I guess I was just thinking nitro being this was my first gas and didn't think about the pressure !! This engine runs great would recommend to any one !!I thought I was kinda werd it had pressure in the tank !!
Thanks,Josh

RE: Problem with evolution 26 gt2 !!!
Okay, Let's all settle down with the legal matters and take note of what is important here. If you are running a two-line fuel system on a gas engine you want the vent line to make 1-2 loops on top of the fuel tank and then exit out the bottom of the fuse. The line with the clunk on it goes to the carb. It has a tee in it and a line running off of the 90 degree tube that is used to fill the tank. It goes to the fuel button. See below.
