I noticed I have an airleak, quick question

[sticconi]

I have an airleak in my lock pin for my carb. I did the soapy water test and seen some bubble. My question is how do I seal that part of the engine? This is for an axial .28 spec 1s

Permatex Ultra Copper. You can get it at any auto parts store. Good for sealing the whole engine.

yeah I have that and I sealed the whole engine but I didn't even think to seal this. Where would I apply the permatex to stop it from leaking?

 

[Double-O-Zilch]

Put a very little inside the hole and slide the pin in. Make sure there isn't any excess squezing down into the engine. Also put a little on the outside of the pin for good measure. Since you'll have the carb out, you might as well seal it too. Put a little up around the o-ring and clean the excess after sliding it in.

Either on the outside of the screw hole (both sides) or just replace the lower O ring in the carb. It either got cracked when you turned the carb or its gotten worn out.

i sealed the whole engine except for this so the carb is already sealed, and I havn't even ran the engine yet so I'm not going to replace anything. thanks guys i just put some on the outside of the pin and screw. I just watched that air leak test on youtube too. Thank god I did that
