Anyone out there have problems with an air leak in the P2...I loved it for the first gallon and I always kept the temp around 245 +/- a few deg....all of a sudden I can't get the thing to stay stable at idle.....wanted to know if the length of the pressure tube from the exhaust could be too short and cause problems.....I do get air bubbles in the fuel line,even after I've replaed them and zip tied them around every fitting....I've taken the engine apart, cleaned and resealed the back plate and the carb "neck" and the bolt in the crankcase to hold the carb in.....can I seal any of the adj screws w/ a non-hardening seal like ....... vasoline or something......(hey it works on mustaches in dive masks)....if anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate it....as soon as I get this air leak solved I'm sellin it and getting a sirio .23 anyway.....MORE POWER AAAARRGGHHH AAGG!!!!!
 
Have you tried sealing the carb and back plate with silicon and I would not use vasaline when it gets warm it looses its viscocity.
 
Yeah, I used racers choice air seal....I didn't use the vasoline (yet) I was wondering if anyone knew of something like that to use around the needle screws...I loved how bad a$$ this thing was at first but now its just a pain in the arse....oh well I still have a mutant maxx to play with...


Anyone else have a suggestion?????
