Hi all,
Ijust came in from running my Volcano, and I am having some problems. I am new to the hobby, only having owned my Volcano about a month.
My Volcano is tuned almost perfectly, yet when I get on the gas hard it bogs down and sometimes dies. If I SLOWLY get on the throttle, it goes to full throttle no problem. Rusn like it should. It is almost like the Volcano is sucking in too much air from somewhere. The high end runs perfectly, and it smokes as it should. The only problem I have is that when I "floor it" it just bogs down and dies. After it dies, it is very hard to re start, almost like it has lost its prime.
I have replaced the fuel lines once already.
Any help is welcomed and appreciated.

you have to tweak the needles depending on the weather every time you run i would say go a little leaner on hsn the hard stat may be due to flooding where are your needles set ie .2 1/2 turns from closed info like this will help us figure things out a little faster
