3:20 is the critical moment in this video to me. Closing both needles proved my Rovan 29 can start no problems. This info was critical to me, as I don’t like to change plugs and carbs for no reason. Furthermore my engine only idles with the LSN at half a turn out. I know that’s crazy for a Walbro carb. You would think it’s too lean. So either it’s note getting enough air or….? Time for a carb tear down and filter clean I think

@EZR

Good Day. I am so very glad I could help. If the car smokes a lot, it is as you say- check the fuel first. It should be 40ml oil to 1litre fuel. If the fuel is right and it still smokes, then the high end needle is too rich. Close high end 5minute turns at a time until it smokes a little, but if performance changes then go back one turn. Some smoke is good, but not too much smoke.

Hi I wanted to ask see when you flood the engine have you ever tried removing the carb and pulled the starter to fire it up to clear it, then put the carb back on and started it up

@EZR

10 ай бұрын

Hello there. No never. If a 2 stroke gets the right tune you can't flood it in a sense. If you leave the choke on and fill the engine with fuel, you can put the choke off and and keep pulling till it starts. They not as sensitive.

After the low speed and high speed needle are allset should we turn the idle screw back until it doesnt touch or just put it where it is?

@EZR

No. The idle screw stays all the way in all the time. Don't need to touch it again.

Excellent video! I do have a situation with my 5b baja that I just purchased. It sounds like it is tuned correctly but it basically goes from idling & with the slightest touch to the trigger it sounds & acts like its 3/4 throttle. I'm leaning towards either incorrect linkage setup for throttle & brake or incorrect setting with my radio? Do you have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

@EZR

4 ай бұрын

Hi there. The options you mentioned is definitely possible but it is also possible that the intake manifold is loose and everytime you put pressure on it by applying throttle it opens the gap allowing air in and spikes the rpm.

@dgmenace73

4 ай бұрын

@EZR thank you for your fast reply. I had not thought of that, but the loose intake does make total sense. I have the throttle linkage setup to when I give it full throttle with radio, I can still slightly move the throttle with my finger (so the servo isn't under strain). The FlySky GT3C radio, which is not "hacked", I think its setup correctly but not 100% sure. I will check the intake. It's crazy how the buggy will go from sitting idling to what sounds like at least 3/4 throttle....it takes off fish tailing. Lol. Hopefully the intake is loose and can easily be tightened. Thanks for your suggestion.

Can I do the same for my 1/5 scale hsp mxt5 warrior which has a zenoah engine and the carburetor doesn’t have the choke. And I also need to know what’s the cc on this rc or how can I know what zenoah model is exactly equipped on this rc ?

You can do the same on your model yes. Zenoah normally have a code on the side of the cylinder behind the flywheel. Just Google that code and you'll know which you have.

It might just be the ring. Best to strip the engine. Check the ring and bearings. Dont swop the bearings if they not wonky. Worn bearings are nice and loose. It normally takes 5x tanks of fuel to get those bearings loose.

My 2 stroke don’t wanna start recently but does once in a while and I’ve tried everything and I’m thinking the spark plug is on the way out. I don’t have a clue on why. Update I got a NGK spark plug worked perfectly now after the first start i let it run to let the spark plug sit in properly if its even needed. I let the tank run through and the following day it don't want to start again I also checked the flywheel and the ignition coil thing and still got charge on pull while electrocuting myself testing it and unflooded the engine to check but once the spark plug is in it don't wont let me pull start it like there is a shit ton of compression build up. I done everything I could think of like holding the throttle while the spark plug is out and pulling the pull start to unflood the engine if it was did that for 10-15 pulls put it all back together and still don't wanna budge. I'm going to order a new carburettor since it has sat for 4 years and it did run perfectly for the first 2 days and is starting to play up since. I also checked the piston and it look perfectly fine. I'm hope-ing the carb is faulty since its not ran for 4 years and I'm guessing it keeps leaking fuel into the engine. Any advice would be grateful.
