Default high speed needle vibrating loose. screw backs out.

Engine has been running like a champ until last Saturday...

To my suprise I noticed the highspeed needle moving while at 1/2 throttle on the bench... basically vibrating loose to an extremely rich setting...screw is backing out on its own..

WTF... I am new to nitro and know that cannot be good...

So what is the fix? new needle?


Thanks for the help.

Just buy the small "O" ring that fits on the needle

kyosho gxr 28

I did pull the needle apart and found a #60 o-ring that hopefully solves the issue.

Thanks for the advice.

Meanwhile you can cut a small piece from a fueltube to use as O-ring. Most of the times this will work.

True, put a piece of fuel tubing on my sons GT1 at the KC HOA and have not had no problems since then.
