Weird Happenings
Was playing with the Revo 3.3 yesterday having it nicely tuned in to where nice trail of blue smoke and not getting it to wheelie was fun. The idol seemed to be revving high though so I go to lower the idle by turning the tiny screw located on the base of the carb below the HSN(best way I could think of describing it's location) yet not any noticeable change. Neither CW or CCW made the idle increase or decrease. Only thing I can think of is I'm turning the wrong needle..lol...or something else is wrong entirely.
Also seeming to have a little trouble with the tranny. Running forward it's beautiful switching gears on time and acceleration perfect. Come to a stop and switch to reverse it does nothing. Sounds like when you have two gears not touching just free spinning. If I nudge it or push it a little then it works. Reverse is then fine, switching it back to forward is the same thing. Free spinning gears until I give it a little nudge then it connects and off to bashing some more. Never have I messed with the tranny or anything on that front just HSN, LSN. On another note, I am a fan of reverse so FOC won't do. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
