venturi

[apache18]

I got an axial 32 and would like to know what the extra venturi's are for. Like how do I know which one to install. Cause it has like 3 of them with the motor. Do I even need to put one in? Thanks Joe

no I think your talking about the carb restrictors. my surefire came w/ the same thing. never used them. just makes the carb inlet smaller

I am running a axial 32 and it makes a weird(like a humming noise) noise after a few minutes of warming it up. It also will bring the idle up some, when it does it. Can't seem to figure it out. I also just got the motor back from axial today. They installed a new carb on it and said all looked fine. The motor has less than a gal. of fuel in it. Thanks Joe

I would say your WAYYYY lean on the low speed needle

Thanks SJ. I am going to put the motor back in and give it a try in the morning. Joe

check your midrange needles, I had one and it was loose...I sold the replacement engine they sent me to my bud and the bearings were bad and the carb needles bad too. Axial told them they are having many issues with this.

Well, I took the truck to a guy at the lhs and within 5 mins after I started it up. It was fixed. He played with the carb screws( all 3 of them) and that did it. I would think that after getting it back from thier (axial) main office, the carb screws would be pretty close. And they even installed a new carb on it.The guy( at the lhs) said they was way off. Like 5 or 6 complete turns off. I may be selling an axial soon. I have to say that I sure like my STS 30 over the axial 32. I think the STS is so much easier to tune. Thanks a lot guys for your help. Joe

The carb on the axial must me different then the surefire .32 carb , my surefire is one of the easiest motors to tune
