New Busse Bash thread (old one too long)!

not to take this particular thread too far offtopic...

I have NOT sealed the motor as I don't really know how...

These problems are occuring DURING break in, so now I have not completed the full break-in cycles yet. Was having trouble from the get go as I think people monkeyed with the motor when it was on display at al's, the needles were all sorts of messed up to start (HSN was FULLY tightened i.e. full lean....) I tried to reset back to the "factory" specs listed on the included setup sheet and go from there...

I pulled the fuel and pressure lines and tried to blow in them while blocking the end with a finger and they dont appear to have any leaks...

fuel is a fresh gallon of traxxas 20%

I'm kind of wondering if the tank somehow lost pressure recently as it is 3 years old but things SEEM to be ok based on my noobie observations.

I'm not really sure how a leaking motor manifests itself, my current problem is the motor wont draw fuel from the tank, which is what originaly led me to check the lines... Other then that I'm thinking my needles are just all over the place, even after all these years of RC i still dont have a good handle on tuning carbs...

to set the needles for break in ( turn them out so they are flush)
high speed is basically 3 turns out
low speed is 2.5-3
to check if ur fuel take is leaking....take it off, fill your sink with water, and submerge fuel tak under the water while blowing into one line and pinching the other...if you see air bubbles coming out of the tank anywherer...u gotta leak

as far as the motor possibly having a leak...
it is not always neccesary to seal motor but i always seal a new motor since it is easy to do....do a search on sealing motors...im almost positive that i saw a sticky thread on that...if you still have problems, gimme a call and ill help you out
