interesting, just realized that has a dual tank setup in it, you are only using one correct? the other is disconnected?

dual tanks can be a headache if either are suspected to be leaking is why i ask.
 
Yah I wasn't sure if they were leaking so I pulled off the T to try and limit any potential problems. I get the same exact result from both tanks.

I don't have discord I use Facebook messenger for everything
 
is messenger still tied into FB to where you can't use messenger?
also please see below, makes explaining a bit easier lol.
the part with the ridges is the clutchbell

It's a seperate entity you don't have to have Facebook for messenger.
 
It's difficult all the way around, I can barely move it at all
 
i think you might be at a point to tear down and inspect the engine. might need to just be cleaned, you can flush out with fuel, but i would full tear down so you know no debris makes it somewhere it shouldnt.

I did that already when I sealed everything

I'm just done man.
 
That has a dual tank mod ,I would eliminate one of the tanks an only have one ,an see if you gain
more tank pressure to the one!
If you read up a little bit, I tried each tank a time and got the same results ;)

My one way bearing is slipping. I have it soaking in wd 40 like I've read everywhere.

I'm unsure if this will fix my fuel problem but I guess tomorrow I'll find out when I reinstall it.

It might actually be longer than that cause my two new cars come tomorrow.

If everything works out with the new ones tomorrow, this one is getting sold

Oh ,I didn't catch what went on ,I been off line most of the day!

The Mgt. is worth putting another engine on though ,however ,it is getting obsolete as well ,an I am going
to cringe if the O-way bearing goes out on mine ,but ,I also have 3 Mgt's though!







 
Wow.

Yeah is love to have it but I'm not spending another 200 to get it going with a new motor. I already have 500 invested in a paperweight currently.

Imma reinstall the owb tomorrow and see what happens. I don't know if it will help my fuel problem or not, I guess we'll see.

On mine ,I am not talking about the starter O-way ,I am talking about in the transmission ,that goes out ,everybody
is screwed!...:doh:

Have you checked to make sure your head bolts are tight?
Also ,you might can remove a head shim if you are using 20% nitro!

Also ,those o-way starter bearings require cleaned every now & then!
 
Yeah everything is tight. I'm using 30% currently.

I just snapped off the carb inside my 3.3 motor about 30 seconds ago.

My night is done.
