Default Diff problem

Hi there! wow long time since I've been on this [X(]
I decided to get my hyper 7 and EB4 running today since the weather was so nice. I started my hyper up and set the mach .28 back to base settings. i kept leaningit out and the performance was gettin better but I just couldnt get any top speed from it. I also noticed the handling was awful. every time I went around a corner, even at a slow speed the back end would just swing out. I think there is a problem with my diffs can some one help me to locate which diff it could be.
many thanks
Rob

About your top speed, maybe due to a long time, some fuel stuck in the HSN needle. It would be good if you clean the tiny holes. To do that, you must almost take apart the carb.

hey thanks for input, so this would include removing the HSN aswell and cleaning that?
Another thing the HSN is very stiff and hard to screw in or out.

Depending on how long you have had it stored your carb (needle)o rings could need to be replaced. Sounds like you a little to much oversteer that is why your back end is sliding out.

thanks guys Il have to check it out. I originally got it off ebay and the previous owner did race it and its been stored for atleast a year or so in my garage. I know I have a spare carb lying around somewhere in that junk heap, if things need replacing on it.
