    Evo 3 stopped running??

    when you take the air filter off, hit the throttle once (with the engine off) you will see how the carb open and closes..when the carb closes there should be a small gap (if the carb closed all of the way, it would shut off) the small gap allow's a small mixyure of air and fuel to...

    rotostart not worth aggravation

    i don't mind the rotostart, i just don't like having to carry it with me of i leave my pit area (fuel bottle, ignitor, rotostart) so i purchased a pull starter as my first upgrade. Part # 1428 works with the 1 way bearing in the rotostart.

    savage x help

    the video's were ok, but they arent very detailed for someone who is new to tuning, for every needle they speak about, they show the same picture of the carb, from the fuel tank side. the HPI manual pdf that you can download from hpiracing.com shows the actual picture of the needle, and where...
