Idle probs

[RangerRock]

Hey guys I am having probs with the STS's idle. IT starts fine but then it just goes nuts. Any help is appreciated

i had the same problem with my sh .28. its an airleak. get some high temp gasket sealant and seal the plate on back at 1 way bearing, seal the carb in the engine and seal either side of the nut and bolt that holds the carb in the block (pinch bolt). then check your fule lines and tabk are airtight. i done this and all my idle and erratic rev problems went away.

have a read through this https://www.hpisavageforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1377&highlight=engine+sealing this was my thread when i had the problem and theres alot of good advice here from guys on the site. (thanx again guys!)
