Hey yall. I've been out of the Hobby for a little more then a year. Well I finally ordered everything to re-build my nitro evader and did so succesfully. The only thing is I went to break it in yesterday (using the heat cycle method) and there was fuel every where. I mean this thing would go threw a tank in under 5 minutes. The whole chassis was covered. At first I thought it was the tank. Took it home and started taking her apart and checking things. Tank is good, lines are good. Did the ole blow in a clean fuel line on the carb while covering the hole for the air filter and slapping soapy water on it to find leaks. Nothing came up except around the LSN area of the carb. But it wasnt bad at all. Not enuff to empty a tank in less then 5 minutes...at least I dont think.

So what do yall think it could be. I did notice my crack shaft was a little rusted as well as my starter shaft. Nothing to bad..but was tarnished..for lack of better words. Cleaned the starter shaft with denatured alchol and a tooth brush and got most of the tarnish off of it. Also how do i get the crank shaft out? I couldnt get the flywheel lose? Thanks yall.

your breaking in a new engine? there will be fuel everywhere. once you tune it you wont have fuel everywhere and the tank should last alot longer 15-20mins. remember look for the blue smoke at full throttle, once tuned

Yes...well a re-built one (new piston/sleeve, connecting rod and gaskets.)

Will do. Got plenty of blue smoke right now. I just dont remember it being this bad when I first broke it in...but then agian that was over a year ago.

Anyone else want to throw there two cents in? Dont be shy....
