Have you broken it in properly? Is it blowing blue smoke out? you could turn in the HSN a touch but check those temps.....

im glad to hear your up and runnin well, my evader has been nuthing but problems since i got it 2 weeks ago,, engine wont idle. have to keep finger on the gas all the time, even when i give it alot of gas and then ease up it lets you know that if you dont keep holin the gas its gunna die,, i tried many numerous settings on the carb,, tank is sealed,lines have clamps on them, , yesterday after lookin it over the clutch bell seemed weird,i could wiggle it alot but it would still have enough bite for the spur gear,, so yes sure enough the e clip,, and a bearing and maybe something else came off,, when u put the bearing on the shaft b4 u put the eclip on is there like a spacer to hold the bearing in?? because it looks like it would just turn out and rub against the eclip,, does anyone figure this could be my problem why it wont idle at all without some throttle?

GT sounds like you should look at your clutch to start.

Evader, it should fine? Do you have it set right? as per the manual? I have my friends and it idles ok but now the piston and sleeve are shot ofter 5-6 runs. Is it new? set it to manual settings and then take off air filter(be careful they are fragile and tear) look down into the carb and make sure it is open enough. 1.5 mm should be good. Also make sure your glow plug is really glowing bright red. See if that helps.

That is your clutch bell and yes it is supposed to turn freely with the engine idling. What happens is when your engine revs higher it put force on the clutch shoes, which then apply presure on your clutch bell. The clutch bell turns the spur gear.

It was moving the other day right? and now nothing? Strip it down to the clutch bell and look to make sure the clutch shoes are ok.

The clutch bell can always move freely. (of course it also has to turn the spur). Try tightening up your slipper clutch, and make sure the spur and bell are meshed correctly.

Anyone know a website where I can get all aftermarket stuff? Like a new clutch, flywheel, spur wheel, clutch bell? I want to build my RC10 GT strong and mean!
