Yeah. Full tank with the level of fuel at or below the fuel inlet on the carb. Hoping I'll find some run time this weekend. Will have to decide between running the revo or the savage... think I'll probably try the savage and perhaps go out the next day with the revo. I've done changes to both and want to run both. lol! Supposed to hit 70F this weekend without rain!Sweet so all it needs is to put the tank below the carb?
I did that last year when I was fighting with it. I also tore the engine down, replaced the bearings with boca ceramic, RTV'd the backplate, carb neck, carb HSN. Didn't seem to help.My new .28 did the same thing and I removed the carb, cleaned it and reinstalled it and it was fine then.
Hope it gets your problems fixed. I'm starting to realize how expensive this hobby can be. O well it's worth it while it lasts. I fabbed a bracket and put a header tank on mine. Didn't get to run it though. I'll have to buy a pump to fill the header now.
Hope u get it running soon. How much the motor run you? Hopefully that fixes all your problems. The header tank worked on mine. It no longer gets lean until the header is about out of fuel. I got a question see if u can help me out. I've seen on a couple of other threads on here how people rebuild there motors after a gallon of fuel threw it. What's the benefit in that or is it necessary. Just wonder cause it's my first nitro and I got about 3/4 of a gallon threw it.I gave up on my LRP28 in my savage this weekend. Just ordered a new LRP 30 for it. So, I guess I'll really be testing that lowered tank a lot soon. I ran a few more tanks through it with a new carb on Sunday and it runs like the crap I remember from last year... so, instead of putting more time, money and fuel through it while wasting what little time I have to bash, it just became a parts engine for the other 2 LRP28's I have. Will look at it again when I do the swap, since I ran in a dusty area which coated the engine with fine dust to see if there's a crack or leak or something. As it is, I've replaced the bearings with new ceramic ones, replaced the carb, re-sealed the engine twice... runs severely erratic in power delivery and temp. I actually blew the first plug in 8 years this weekend. On settings that should have been so rich it shouldn't have ran at all.
Oh ok and sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm new and clueless. What do you pinch the sleeve?$171 shipped on ebay.
Rebuild after a gallon? Perhaps replace bearings and the conrod maybe, but at a gallon, most decent engines are just getting broken in. Back in the day, some guys would replace conrods, but I've never had an issue in the 20+ engines I've owned.I can usually at least get 9 gallons out of an engine before compression is so bad to cause running issues. If it's a good engine, I'd at most replace bearings and get the sleeve pinched. But most sub $200 engines aren't worth replacing piston/sleeve, conrod and bearings because you're nearly at the cost of a new engine.
