Hello all you rc guys. I have a few questions for you because I am embarking on a some what major task for me. I believe my engine is having airleaks. I have fuel oozing out of the neck o fthe carb. when the engine is running. Also on another engine, I have some fuel oozing out of the back of the engine as well. So I know these things are no good. The engine in question are wasp .28, and a os 21 vg. I can not find the proper o-ring for trinity. So please help me do the follow things.

I brought some two things.
1. High Temp RTV Silicone Gasket Maker
2. Hondabond HT Hi Temp Silicone Liquid Gasket

So here are the questions.
1. How do I put it on?
2. How do I make sure it gets on the carb. properly?
3. How much should I put on?
4. What is the best way to apply it?
5. If I mess up, what is the best way to remove it?
6. Does anyone have diagrams or pictures of how to put it on?
7. Also is there a how to website?
 
Thanks for that coby, I've been looking for one..... I didn't think to check YouTube.... duh. :doh:
