if its been a while since your last drove your car....you will need to retune the carb....that would be my first thing to check...sure there are mechanical things that can cause that....but i would think the more obvious first...like the tune.

8ight / 8ight T fuel tank
Hey guys, I thought I remember reading on here about the 8ight fuel tank having issues with cracks or holes... people coating them in shoe goo, etc... I didn't find anything doing a quick search of the thread. But, other than the cap spring, has anyone had problems with the tank not holding pressure causing tuning issues?
I was fighting a tuning issue yesterday and made the mistake of changing more than one thing at a time... I changed the tank AND turned a needle - DOH! The tune was better, still not quite right, and I am not sure if the tank might have been partially to blame. No bubbles, leaks, or anything visable, but changed it to eliminate the possibility. Thanks!

You are looking for :
LOSA6240 5-40 x 1/2” Caphead Screws (10)........................... $2.50
The eight screws that come with the one piece mount are all the same size. The four that bolt the engine to the upper mounts should have a small #4washer on them. I like to use loctite on the screws bolting the engine to the upper mounts, but not the bottom screws mounting the upper mounts to the lower mount. I do regular clutch maintenance at the track so they don't get a chance to loosen up.

No. I really can't imagine the truck being any better. Anyone else?

Any real advantages to the aluminum hubs/spindles besides the fact that they look kinda cool? Thanks
